China Doll

China Doll

(album: Reckoning - 1981)

A pistol shot at 5 o'clock
The bells of heaven ring
"Tell me what you done it for"
"No I won't tell you a thing

"Yesterday I begged you
before I hit the ground
all I leave behind me
is only what I found

"If you can abide it
let the hurdy-gurdy play
Stranger ones have come by here
before they flew away

"I will not condemn you
nor yet would I deny"
"I would ask the same of you
but failing will not die

"Take up your china doll
it's only fractured
and just a little nervous
from the fall"
