Looking through the Big Book of Big Country Lyrics 

Fragile Thing

Big Country

 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
