Verse 1:
Should anybody ask you why you're alone
Why you cry, where I've flown
Said good-bye
If it appears that day and night look one way
Not so bright
You can see...

Chorus:
Love is fragile
Only good when it's true
This I've come to understand in you
If I can't take you by the hand it's because
I don't see love the way you do

Verse 2:
You thought I'd take it on the chin
Sail us on
I'd give in
Stream along, smile and drift
Devotion doesn't grow on trees
It won't bend with the breeze
Don't you know....

Chorus:
Love is fragile
Only good when it's true
This I've come to understand in you
If I can't take you by the hand it's because
I don't see love the way you do
Should anybody ask you why you're alone
Why you cry
Tell 'em why
(You tell them why...)
