Lyrics Big Country

Big Country

Fragile Thing

Thank you ma'am for asking

Yes I'm on my own

I guess it's kind of obvious

I'm eating here alone

I'm grateful for the company

Tired of talking to myself

Don't you look into my eyes

You might see someone else

I've been to see a movie

About a man who saved the world

Had the same old happy ending

Where the hero gets the girl

And all I ever wanted

Was to be that hero too

Then I might still be with her

Instead of here with you

Love is a small and fragile thing

I spend a lot of cold nights missing you

Keep it in your hands or let it take wing

I spend a lot of cold nights missing you

Thank you for your time ma'am

I'm gonna go and walk

I might as well do that

Because I'm running out of talk

I could walk a thousand miles tonight

And never find my place

At least until it gets too light

To hide my tearful face

Love is a small and fragile thing

I spend a lot of cold nights missing you

Keep it in your hands or let it take wing

I spend a lot of cold nights missing you

I spend a lot of cold nights missing you

There's a low ballet on the highway

Brief faces in the light

I catch them for a second

Heading somewhere in the night

And we have no connection

But the darkness and the road

I better find a place tonight

I better call it home

Love is a small and fragile thing

I spend a lot of cold nights missing you

Keep it in your hands or let it take wing

I spend a lot of cold nights missing you

I spend a lot of cold nights missing you
