While people live such separate lives
'Cause if I'd had a shield of heather
When you're alone out in that storm
'Cause the weather's in my bones
Laughin' in the spirit of America
To the Texas coast
Fragile as the Gulf Stream waters
I would give you all that's in me
To the Texas coast
Fragile as her torch that glows
Then howl me back home
Fragile as the Gulf Stream waters
Fragile as the lady of the harbour

Fragile as the lady of the harbour

For the snow and the song
Fragile as her torch that glows
To the Texas coast, I would sail you home
To the Texas coast, I would sail you home

Singin' in the snow
I wish I was the Gulf Stream water
Fragile as the gulf stream waters
And I could sail you home
Fragile as her torch that glows
Just carved in stone
And the wind could shatter bone to splinter
I wonder how they've grown together

I'd have never loved at all
If I could have that day upon the mountain
Fragile as the lady of the harbour
To the Texas coast

To the Texas coast

Just a year ago
To the Texas coast
Here's to love and all that it changes
To the Texas coast
Now I wish I felt as strong as that mountain
Think I'll stay inside for the winter
I stared up at the faces in the mountain
Though part of me is gone
