China Doll — текст песни (Bruce Hornsby)

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 its all gone



China doll, Ive got something for you

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

May not be much, but now its all that I can do

Lay down your weary head

Do whatever you gotta do



Put on your strong face when theyre in the room

Cant show signs of weakness; an unspoken rule

Put on your strong face, act like nothings wrong

We can be so helpless, helpless and so strong



China doll, Ive got something for you

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

May not be much, but now its all that I can do

To ease your worried mind

Do something to get through



We bend and break, so fragile, its true

I say everythingll be alright but I dont have a clue

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

In a world where you never know

Ill be there for you,

Ill be there for you...



China doll, Ive got something for you

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

May not be much, but now its all that I can do

Lay down your weary head

Do whatever you gotta do
