Life’s become so fragile
now that I care
But I guess that means that I’m
Getting somewhere
Remember the time
Laying in your bedWhen you told me that you loved me
And you stroked my head

And I stared out the open window
I’d even told you
That one night howWords don’t mean a thing
But it’s alright
Cause every time
I open my mouth
And I wanna tell you something
But something else comes out

But do you know that I need you nowI’m trying to tell you but I don’t know how
So much frustration in my
Untidy roomThat you thoughtfully went andGot me a broom
But inside my room
Is a messy mind that isTangled and twisted
And untied

You know that I’m not too organisedI’m trying to be but I don’t have the time
The cement in my headWas making me sinkBut you pulled me up
and it hurts a little less to think
So life’s a little fragile
But I guess it always isWhen you’ve got some sort of reasonThat makes you wanna live
But will you share a bit of the weightI’ve carried it with me for 21 years straight

Verse 1

As the blackbird in the spring

'neath the willow tree

Sat and piped I heard him sing

Praising Aura Lee.

Chorus

Aura Lea! Aura Lea! Maid of golden hair

Sunshine came along with thee

And swall-ows in the air.

Verse 2

Take my heart and take my ring

I give my all to thee

Take me for eternity

Dearest Aura Lee!

Chorus

Aura Lea! Aura Lea! Maid of golden hair

Sunshine came along with thee

And swall-ows in the air.

Verse 3

In her blush the rose was born

'twas music when she spoke

In her eyes the light of morn

Sparkling seemed to break.

Chorus

Aura Lee! Aura Lee! Maid of golden hair

Sunshine came along with thee

And swall-ows in the air.

Verse 4

Aura Lee the bird may flee

The willow' golden hair

Then the wintry winds may be

Blowing ev'rywhere.

Chorus

Aura Lee! Aura Lee! Maid of golden hair

Sunshine came along with thee

And swall-ows in the air.

Verse 5

Yet if thy blue eyes I see

Gloom will soon depart

For to me sweet Aura Lee

Is sunshine to the heart.

Chorus

Aura Lee! Aura Lee! Maid of golden hair

Sunshine came along with thee

And swall-ows in the air.

I 'been shaking in my boots too long.

Lookin' out babe, how these boots are made, God made them for walking,
You know I couldn't help and stop when I heard, heard those people talking,
The Lord went for these lonely walks, now it won't be long till the hailstorm starts,
I don't wanna be here no more, what am I waiting for.

Lord, Lord, Lord don't let me down,
Lord, Lord, I'm on shaky ground.

Moving right along after the storm the dawn is drawing night,
My heart is breaking my legs are shaking, here comes another night,
The stars will soon be shining bright, got to get my head right,
It might be a long walk, you know I can't stop.

Lord, Lord, Lord don't let me down,
Lord, Lord, I'm on shaky ground.

Now I've walked for miles, feeling sanctified,
I was high when the skies turned blue at night,
I was just a little girl and every time my hair would curl,
Little boy blue he was a prince, he just walked by.

Lord, Lord, Lord don't let me down,
Lord, Lord, I'm on shaky ground.
