Benjamin Adair Murphy - Frail Thing Lyrics

Whatever dust might fall over the things that you've borrowed
Whatever hearts you fill with madness or sorrow

Whatever corners you search when the rooms around you swing
You might find what you lost, but it just might cost you everything

Because your boat is tied to the rocks with nothing but string
Your boat is tied up with nothing but string
And I hope you don't think you can stand up
In this wind that can lift up a man like a spring

Whatever lines you sell to the world waiting below
Whatever time you kill for moving too slow

Whatever noise you make while the ears around you ring
You might think that it's wrong but that's not the song they want you to sing

Because your boat is tied to the rocks with nothing but string
Your boat is tied up with nothing but string
And I hope you don't think you can stand up
In this wind that can lift up a man like a spring

You roll it out then and try to roll it back under the rug
But we all know what it was that you were thinking

Now your boat is tied to the rocks with nothing but string
Your boat is tied up with nothing but string
And I hope you don't think you can stand up
In this wind that can lift up a man like a spring
