Album: Fear (1991)

  • 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 Writer/s: DINNING, GUSS, NICHOLS, PHILLIPS
