Thankful by Rumer
Thankful lyrics
It's the first breath of springtime
And a warm wind picks up the fallen blossom
And sails in circles around 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
6 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 'Superstars'
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 fallen leaves
all under October's 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
