lyrics

Oh, the summer time is coming,
And the trees are blooming,
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather.
Will you go, lassie, go?

And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather,
Will you go, lassie, go?

I will build my love a bower
By yon clear and crystal fountain,
And all around the bower,
I'll pile flowers from the mountain.
Will you go, lassie, go?

If my true love, she won't have me,
I will surely find another
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather.
Will you go, lassie, go?

Oh, the summertime is coming
And the trees are blooming
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather.
Will you go, lassie, go?

I love when it gets late and you tell me,
You need to get me home,
but that we will stop for coffee first
because that means I get extra hours with you alone.

and nothing makes me happier than that.
My dear Zorro.

You've got a soul that burns empires,
Loudly proclaiming everything it needs and wants,
And it doesn't scare me,
It draws me in wraps me up in warmth,
And strokes my hair.

I like reading the drunk texts I sent you.
Your responses are so human.
You don't dismiss it or support it.
You don't toss me more problems,
or give me shit.
Like mistakes happen.
I've got my problems and I'm sorry.
It's wrapped up in a long story.

Your long red hair could be mistaken for fire,
But it reminds me of those ginger dogs, dear Zorro.

You've got a soul that burns empires,
Loudly proclaiming everything it needs and wants
And it doesn't scare me,
It draws me in wraps me up in warmth,
And strokes my hair.

If my true love, she won't have me,
I will surely find another
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather.
Will you go, lassie, go?

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)
