China dread

See the girl with the bell bottoms on
Stare at her and it won’t take too long for
China Dread to inspire a song tonight

She came on just like a dream
In a reflection by the lake
To my surprise, just mesmerized
It was a feeling I could take
Such a break
From heartache

See the girl with the bell bottoms on
Stare at her and it won’t take too long for
China Dread to inspire a song tonight

Well, I knelt down overcome by the sound
Of a whisper in my ear
China behind me, soft words to bear
She said "don’t worry ‘bout a thing my dear"
It was clear
Heaven was here

See the girl with the bell bottoms on
Stare at her and it won’t take too long for
China dread to inspire a song tonight

It must have been fate that arranged this meeting
For she taught me one more true meaning to life
And I’m not mad at her for leaving
Right then I knew
This angel was a fly by night
