Baby

[Verse 1] Nothing so bright Nothing so smooth Nothing so pure As my baby [Verse 2] All of my life Days into night All I did dream Was my baby [Verse 3] Until the day Darkness entwined With silver eyes Was my baby staring At me [Interlude] And since then I can't see straight And since then my smile's been fake [Verse 4] Funny I know The troubles I've seen But through one eye only That's clear [Verse 5] If you bring along your needles Then I'll bring my sharpened pencils And draw one more comic tragedy My baby [Verse 6] So call up the child players From madam we'll rent the parlor And dance to death Till I can't see My baby
