Cassandra Wilson
Fragile
If blood will flow when fresh and steel are one
Drying in the color of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay

On and on the rain will fall
On and on the rain will fall

Perhaps this final act was meant to clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For 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
On and on the rain will see how fragile we are

If blood will flow when fresh and steel are one
Drying in the color of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay

On and on the rain will fall like tears from a star
On and on the rain will see how fragile we are
How fragile we are, how fragile we are
How fragile we are, how fragile we are
