Thankful Rumer
It's the first breath
of springtime
And a warm wind picks up
the fallen blossom
And sails in circles
down the street
A lady cycles past
with her hair in braids
As they're pulling down
the awning to the train
station cafe
I'm alive and I'm thankful
For this time
I'm alive and I'm thankful
For this time
Six o' clock summer afternoon
Next door's kids are
playing in the yard
I'm doing the dishes
at the window
and the radio's
playing Superstar
And the sun falls down
on the garden next door
But two young boys are fighting
till a woman
appears at the door
And the fires and the fog
and the falling leaves
Under October skies
You walked me home in the cold
after closing time
As the leaves rushed by
How I want to be loved
How I need to be loved
Now that I've found you
I'd do anything for you
In the Forest of Angels
that's where we laid you down
And I can hear whispers
When the first frost
falls on the ground
You're alive just be thankful
For this time
You're alive just be thankful
For this time
