Lyrics Broken China - The Papers

Girl standing on the wooden bridge
Swelled by the winter deluge
She bows and tries to smile
Puts her shoes aside?

Such a pretty day
River's running fast
Clasps her hands to her chest
There's no-one here to ask
I watched a flower spring to life, a swallow on the wing
What emptiness could live inside, beneath that happy skin

Broken China
Broken China

Around her voice rebounds
The wind is wild and colder
The world is walking away
What she needs is a shoulder

I watched a flower spring to life, a swallow on the wing
What emptiness could live inside, beneath that happy skin

Broken China
Broken China
Guitar break
The sky so blue, what could fall apart
Throw the stone away, she's living in my heart

I watched a flower spring to life, a swallow on the wing
What emptiness could live inside, beneath that happy skin
I watched a flower spring to life, a swallow on the wing
What emptiness could live inside, beneath that happy skin

Broken China
Broken China
Broken China
Broken China
