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 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.
