Fragile

[Verse 1]

More fragile than life

And easier to destroy

And faster to dissolve

And cheaper to avoid

And riskier to control

And not so forgiving

More fragile than life

Is living

[Verse 2]

More fragile than time

And tougher to tell

And simpler to kill

Oh, and deeper to dwell

And quicker to plash

When both hands are climbing

More fragile than time

Is timing

[Verse 3]

More fragile than you

And sweeter inside

And sadder to leave

Oh, unidentified

And sooner to fade

And harder to trust

More fragile than you
