Nanci Griffith - Fragile Lyrics

Font:

Align:

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 harbour

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

(repeat chorus)

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 that storm

Cuz' if I'd had a shield of heather

I'd have never loved at all

(repeat chorus)

(tag)

I would sail you home

To the Texas coast

I would sail you home

To the Texas coast
