Tony Levin Fragile As A Song Lyrics

What makes one day unlike another?
Along our way the winds of change begin to blow
they scatter what we know like pages of our scripted play
blown away

I took a flight down to Atlanta
Another day of travel, of sharing space with strangers
seldom re-arranges the way I know the world to be
from what I see

I saw you and you saw me
How music passed between us is a mystery
But there was a connection and it took me by surprise
a look of understanding in your eyes

I saw you and you saw me
what makes a little song become a symphony?
One heart finds its melody, another sings along
and all the walls between us are as fragile as a song

It's not the notes you play it's the ones left out Not the words you say that speak what you're about
spill the insides out, and give the world a chance to share
the magic there

And so I reach for my guitar
And with my ape-like fingers commence to strum along
attempt to find a song, express the things that came my way
on that day

I saw you and you saw me
how music passed between us is a mystery
But there was a connection and it took me by surprise
a look of understanding in your eyes

I touched you and you touched me
what made our little song become a symphony?
One heart finds its melody, another sings along
and all the walls between us are as fragile as a song
