Travelling In This Little Paper Boat

from On Lake Memphremagog by Jonathan Atkins

lyrics

Oh it's passing until it's gone,
Rewriting fortunes based off all the dates we had settle on.
And I'm not even sure I'll ever want it all,
So I'll just keep on travelling until I hit a wall

Now I'm tumbling through rapids,
In heavy gusts of wind.
With the world splashing right into my wild eyed childish gaze.

I'm certain I was heading East,
I'm pretty sure I'm off my route,
But I'll keep pushing on for a few more days.

Oh it's not rooting for us until we're gone.
It plans our 60 year adventure 5 years before the dates we'd settled on,
And I'm never certain it's at all what I want,
But I'll commit to this adventure for fear of a future haunt.

Now I'm tumbling through rapids,
In heavy gusts of wind.
With the world splashing right into my wild eyed childish gaze.

I'm certain I was heading East,
I'm pretty sure I'm off my route,
But I'll keep pushing on for a few more days.

If I only I had laminated this wide eyed paper boat.
Maybe I'd be guaranteed just a few more days of mileage,
Without the water flooding in. Oh the water's flooding in.

Now I'm tumbling through rapids,
In heavy gusts of wind.
With the world splashing right into my wild eyed childish gaze.

I'm certain I was heading East,
I'm pretty sure I'm off my route,
But I'll keep pushing on for a few more days.

Oh it's passing until it's gone,
Rewriting fortunes based off all the dates we had settle on.
And I'm not even sure I'll ever want it all,
So I'll just keep on travelling until I hit a wall

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)
