Lyric China Doll

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 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
