Fragile
Lyricist:Nanci Griffith
I look out on these shields of heather 'Cross this countryside I wonder how they've grown together While people live such separate lives
Think I'll stay inside for the winter 'Cause the weather's in my bones And the wind could shatter bone to splinter Then howl me back home
Fragile as the lady of the harbour Fragile as her torch that glows Fragile as the Gulf Stream waters To the Texas coast To the Texas coast
I stared up at the faces in the mountain Just a year ago Laughin' in the spirit of America Singin' in the snow
Now I wish I felt as strong as that mountain Just carved in stone I wish I was the Gulf Stream water And I could sail you home Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Fragile as the lady of the harbour Fragile as her torch that glows Fragile as the gulf stream waters To the Texas coast To the Texas coast
I would give you all that's in me Though part of me is gone If I could have that day upon the mountain For the snow and the song
Here's to love and all that it changes When you're alone out in that storm 'Cause if I'd had a shield of heather I'd have never loved at all
Fragile as the lady of the harbour Fragile as her torch that glows Fragile as the Gulf Stream waters To the Texas coast To the Texas coast, I would sail you home To the Texas coast, I would sail you home To the Texas coast
