Wicker Forest

from Wicker Forest by Jonathan Atkins

lyrics

Time slows down and out among the trees,
It's been a long time since we had seen leaves.
The snowbanks can't claim our forests for long,
But they'll still hint at us with a few more songs.

I've got soul, and hope, and I've got hope and soul,
And I'm not exactly sure if I'm yet in control
There's always this meeting in the forest, where I'm not allowed,
But I'm the guest of honour, so hell yes I'm going down.

I'm not sore from walking all alone,
I'm just wrecked from laying on the ground too long.
But there will be a bed of dandelions below me
Underneath the tall, wiltering wicker tree.

I've got soul, and hope, and I've got hope and soul,
But I'm still not sure if I'd rather scream out rock and roll,
There's always this meeting in the forest, where I'm not allowed,
But I'm the guest of honour, so hell yes I'm going down.

I've got secret goods down in the woods,
I've got secrets for yuh, inside the wicker forest.
And there's a small part of me that's still enchanting to my heart,
So I let that bit part die and find a way to restart.

I've got soul, and hope, and I've got hope and soul,
But I haven't got a damn stupid single fucking goal.
There's always this meeting in the forest, where I'm not allowed,
But I'm the guest of honour, so hell yes I'm going down.

I've got soul, and hope, and I've got hope and soul,
And I'm not exactly sure if I'm yet in control
But I'm still not sure if I'd rather scream out rock and roll,
But I haven't got a damn stupid single fucking goal.

There's always this meeting in the forest, where I'm not allowed,
But I'm the guest of honour, so hell yes I'm going down.

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)
