Paroles de 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

[Chorus:]
I'm fragile as the lady of the harbor
Fragile as her torch that glows
Fragile as these 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

[Chorus]
But here's to love and all that it changes
When you're alone out in that storm
Cuz' if I'd had a shield of heather
I'd have never loved at all

[Chorus]

I would sail you home
To the Texas coast
I would sail you home
To the Texas coast
