China Doll

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
