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
