China Doll Lyrics
B. R. HornsbyYou lie over there in a bed with iron railsLike a frightened child in the cold light, so frailThings were going so well,just rolling alongNow, just when you think you got it all made,You think it's all goneChina Doll, I've got something for youA few good words, a hand to help you get throughMay not be much, but now it's all that I can doLay down your weary headDo whatever you gotta doPut on your strong face when they're in the roomCan't show signs of weakness; an unspoken rulePut on your strong face, act like nothing's wrongWe can be so helpless, helpless and so strongChina Doll, I've got something for youA few good words, a hand to help you get throughMay not be much, but now it's all that I can doTo ease your worried mindDo something to get throughWe bend and break, so fragile, it's trueI say everything'll be alright but I don't have a clueThey say faith is a crutch, well whatever works for youIn a world where you never knowI'll be there for you,I'll be there for you...China Doll, I've got something for youA few good words, a hand to help you get throughMay not be much, but now it's all that I can doLay down your weary headDo whatever you gotta do
Bruce Hornsby China Doll
