"China Blue" lyrics - JACKSON C. FRANK

As often as I could call you
Down in the Bureau of Mines
You were all caught up in that [?]
And habitual criminal signs

[Chorus:]
Yesterday everything seemed to be alright
'Til I woke up in the dawn
My life I'd give you for one sweet day
To be home again and [?]

You regret religion's [?]
And I am unable to try
So many have held out for glory
But habits grown too hard to die

[Chorus]

No sense to tell us we're burning
It's unexpectedly clear
How that warm bed of roses keeps calling
So what are you all doing here

[Chorus]
