I Will Not Take These Things For Granted Lyrics

one part of me just wants to tell you everything
one part just needs the quiet
and if i'm lonely here, i'm lonely here
and on the telephone
you offer reassurance
 
        i will not take these things for granted
 
how can i hold the part of me that only you can carry
it needs a strength i haven't found
but if it's frightening, i'll bear the cold
and on the telephone
you offer warm asylum
 
        i'm listening
        flowers in the garden
        laughter in the hall
        children in the park
        i will not take these things for granted
anymore
 
to crawl inside the wire and feel something near me
to feel this accepting
that it is lonely here, but not alone
and on the telephone
you offer visions dancing
 
        i'm listening
        music in the bedroom
        laughter in the hall
        dive into the ocean
        singing by the fire
        running through the forest
        and standing in the wind
        in rolling canyons
 
i will not take these things for granted
