Fragile |
| I look out on these shields of heather |
| Across this countryside |
| I wonder how they’ve grown together |
| While people live such separate lives |
| I think I’ll stay inside for the winter |
| Cuz the weather’s in my bones |
| And the wind could shatter bone to splinter |
| Then howl me back home |
| I’m fragile as the lady of the harbor |
| As fragile as her torch that glows |
| As 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 |
| And 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 |
| I’m fragile as the lady of the harbor |
| As fragile as her torch that glows |
| As 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 |
| But here’s to love and all that it changes |
| When you’re alone out in the storm |
| If I’d had a shield of heather |
| I’d have never loved at all |
| I’m fragile as the lady of the harbor |
| As fragile as her torch that glows |
| As 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 |
