CHINA DOLLS

 (Pickering, Binau)

That one night, when all is new

You came from somewhere else, an odd odd world

That world was not a good one, well not for you

Old fashioned like sails, salty and furled

Then you took off, sparks in the night

Clenching hands together, holding on tight

100 miles per hour and then faster you go

Going into anywhere

Who could know

Love, joy and hope I wish for you, my china dolls

Some day the world will know and love you too, my china dolls

The ocean seems deep and the sky only blue

It all depends on your point of view

But your love is strong and real and true

Now you are here, at my window sill

Beautiful and fragile you watch in vain

No movement at all, perfectly still

Can blood run through porcelain?

Take the first step, keep walking slow

Then pick up the pace, no status quo

Now you are running, it’s time to fly

Taking off forever, waving goodbye
