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 all right, 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
