Bruce Hornsby And The Range China Doll Lyrics

China Doll Lyrics

You lie over there in a bed with iron rails

 Like a frightened child in the cold light, so frail

 Things were going so well,just rolling along

 Now, just when you think you got it all made,

 You think it's all gone

 

 China Doll, I've got something for you

 A few good words, a hand to help you get through

 May not be much, but now it's all that I can do

 Lay down your weary head

 Do whatever you gotta do

 

 Put on your strong face when they're in the room

 Can't show signs of weakness; an unspoken rule

 Put on your strong face, act like nothing's wrong

 We can be so helpless, helpless and so strong

 

 China Doll, I've got something for you

 A few good words, a hand to help you get through

 May not be much, but now it's all that I can do

 To ease your worried mind

 Do something to get through

 

 We bend and break, so fragile, it's true

 I say everything'll be alright but I don't have a clue

 They say faith is a crutch, well whatever works for you

 In a world where you never know

 I'll be there for you,

 I'll be there for you...

 

 China Doll, I've got something for you

 A few good words, a hand to help you get through

 May not be much, but now it's all that I can do

 Lay down your weary head

 Do whatever you gotta do
