Sea of other fragile things
Oh you strangle all my strings
And you strike, the timbrel rings
Oh I'd settle when you sing
And I'd dance around the well
Well that's just how in love I fell
Another inside my shawl
You want it all, I know it well
Just don't leave your china doll
Just don't leave your china doll
Funny how you lift from the hip
Honey how I love you, know-it-all
I came to call upon your lips, your limping leg
Today I skip the prayer of missing you, I whisper
"Please don't leave your china doll"
