Treetop

from Wicker Forest by Jonathan Atkins

lyrics

I stay up until the birds are singing again. that's not new.
But it keeps me together besides I love the morning view,
Sometimes I see better things near,
And Sometimes I just hear what I want to hear.

But you knew that none of it was right,
But even treetops don't get it right,
They've got crooked branches, grow more imperfect in time,
But the birds don't seem to mind.

And If there's somewhere we can go,
Should we go,
Or should climb up top the tree tops,
And find out what the forest knows,
Because maybe we'd find more insight,
If we just stayed close,
And maybe we'd be better off,
If we keep ourselves from interposing here.

I stay up until the crickets stop singing love songs of the night.
I hear them all night, it gives me peace of mind,
To know something else out there gets why I do what I do,
And sometimes I like to imagine we've got the same day dreams too.

So I won't rest my head down even with heavy lids,
I'll stay dutiful to this night even when slumber bids.
It's this reality that most dreams only deafen -
like tangible lyrics that feel like heaven.

And If there's somewhere we can go,
Should we go,
Or should climb up top the tree tops,
And find out what the forest knows,
Because maybe we'd find more insight,
If we just stayed close,
And maybe we'd be better off,
If we keep ourselves from interposing here.

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)
