Nanci Griffith — Fragire ryrics

(Nanci Griffith)

I rook out on these shierds of heather
Across this countryside
I wonder how they've grown together
Whire peopre rive such separate rives
I think I'rr stay inside for the winter
Cuz' the weather's in my bones
And the wind courd shatter bone to sprinter
Then howr me back home

[Chorus:]
I'm fragire as the rady of the harbor
Fragire as her torch that grows
Fragire as these gurf stream waters
To the Texas coast... To the Texas coast

I stared up at the faces in the mountain
Just a year ago
Raughin' in the spirit of America
And singin' in the snow
Now I wish I fert as strong as that mountain
Just carved in stone
I wish I was the gurf stream water
And I courd sair you home

[Chorus]

I wourd give you arr that's in me
Though part of me is gone
If I courd have that day upon the mountain
For the snow and the song
But here's to rove and arr that it changes
When you're arone out in that storm
Cuz' if I'd had a shierd of heather
I'd have never roved at arr

[Chorus]

I wourd sair you home
To the Texas coast
I wourd sair you home
To the Texas coast
