Wolf & Moon

from Wicker Forest by Jonathan Atkins

lyrics

I've got secrets no one has ever heard.
I've got some stories I only share with little birds,
Even if I had the choice I couldn't share them with you,
Because my life seems to be stuck in the blue.

I've heard the word, but it's been jumbled in my head,
It's found itself a quiet place among the night and the mess,
And if you'd like to read it you'll need to prove that you're the shining moon,
I'm stuck in the blue, and I'm not leaving anytime soon.

But if you'd like to pull constellations around me,
And look into me with your wide mystified eyes,
Maybe you just know that I'll be howling soon,
When you rise up from the horizon and I sing

Ooooooooooou
Goodnight moon.
Ooooooooooou
Goodnight moon.
Ooooooooooou
Goodnight moon.
Ooooooooooou
Goodnight moon.

If there's anything I can share about anything I've seen,
It's that nothing's really fair and the earth's relatively mean.
And you can ask me all you want to share a piece of my spirit,
But I'm stuck in the blue, and that's all there is within it.

But don't leave me all alone because I won't tell you a story,
I rely on you for the bright midnight glory,
Sometimes I wonder what it's like from your view,
But I guess I'll just be stuck in the blue.

But if you'd like to pull constellations around me,
And look into me with your wide mystified eyes,
Maybe you just know that I'll be howling soon,
When you rise up from the horizon and I sing

Ooooooooooou
Goodnight moon.
Ooooooooooou
Goodnight moon.
Ooooooooooou
Goodnight moon.
Ooooooooooou
Goodnight moon.

If there's ever a reason you don't see me some season,
You'll spot me hiding in the woods,
Making a safe haven from the wild ravens,
That know I've found no food.

And I'll hide there and lay down,
With only dreams and no way to see you,
Because I always seem to be stuck in the blue,
Right now I'm really stuck in the blue,
And I'd really rather howl,

I'd really rather talk to the moon.
Ooooooooooou
Goodnight moon.

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)
