I look out on these shields of heatherAcross this countrysideI wonder how they've grown togetherWhile people live such separate livesI think I'll stay inside for the winter'cause' the weather's in my bonesAnd the wind could shatter bone to splinterThen 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 coastI stared up at the faces in the mountainJust a year agoLaughin' in the spirit of AmericaAnd singin' in the snowNow I wish I felt as strong as that mountainJust carved in stoneI wish I was the gulf stream waterAnd I could sail you home(repeat chorus)I would give you all that's in meThough part of me is goneIf I could have that day upon the mountainFor the snow and the songBut here's to love and all that it changesWhen you're alone out in that storm'cause' if I'd had a shield of heatherI'd have never loved at all(repeat chorus)(tag)I would sail you homeTo the Texas coastI would sail you homeTo the Texas coast
