lyrics

Daddy always told me about the reckoning waves,
Two steps too far, and they’ll carry you away.
So I’d take myself right down to waters shore,
Just to dip my feet, and taste nothing more.

Oh, but the tidal waves, oh the tidal waves,
They had a different plan for me.
Drawn in by a courage explained only by an enemy.

Oh the tidal waves, oh the tidal waves,
I could tell that they could see,
I was two steps too far, they could easily gain a handle on me.

Up upon the shore I was wild and free,
Could stare into the distance at the darkening sea,
I was blessed with a freedom to be awake and pursue,
But cursed by the thought of not knowing what to do

about

Jonathan Atkins Mississauga, Ontario

"A singer-songwriter with a devastating ear for harmonies and a delicate touch with lyrics that slide perfectly into a horrid winter. There's a definite Celtic touch, but far sweeter than something like Mumford & Sons." - Andrew Fifield (Metro News)
