Fragile (With Jesse Cook)

Holly Cole · Other Songs - Holly Cole

Blood would flow.

Flesh and steel are one.

Drying in the color of the evening sun.

Tomorrows rain will wash the stains away.

Something in our minds will always stay.



On and on

The rain will fall

Like tears from a star

Like tears from a star

On and on

The rain will say

How fragile we are

How fragile we are



Perhaps this final light was meant

To clench a lifetimes arguement.

But nothing comes from violence

And nothing ever could.

All those born beneath an angry star

Lest we forget how fragile we are.



On and on

The rain will fall

Like tears from a star

Like tears from a star

On and on

The rain will say

How fragile we are

How fragile we are



On and on

The rain will fall

Like tears from a star

Like tears from a star

On and on

The rain will say

How fragile we are

How fragile we are



How fragile we are

How fragile we are
