Fragile lyrics

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
