Paint on a caution wind 'Neath the bleeding sky I called your name There was no one there And in the cold and snow I saw your face And we sang our song for the little thing Magic calm, but the joy you bring Running it down the line Wish you could find that love is a fragile thing Magic calm from a pretty thing Maybe it might be time For a better day For a better day For a better day Straight, from the path of love In the road of life I tumble forward But I'm going on I'ma keep it strong I saw your face And we sang our song for the little thing Magic calm, but the joy you bring Running it down the line Wish you could find that love is a fragile thing Magic calm from a pretty thing Maybe it might be time For a better day For a better day For a better day For a better day For a better day For a better day And we sang our song for the little thing Magic calm, but the joy you bring Running it down the line Wish you could find that love is a fragile thing Magic calm from a pretty thing Maybe it might be time For a better day
