Hornsby Bruce China Doll Lyrics

China Doll Lyrics

(by B.R. Hornsby)

  

  You lie over there in a bed with iron rails

  Like a frightened child in the cold light, so frail

  Things were going do well, just rolling along

  Now, just when you think you've got it 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

  

  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
