Nothing so bright

Nothing so smooth

Nothing so pure

As my baby

All of my life

Days into night

All I did dream was my baby

Until the day

Darkness entwined

With silver eyes

Was my baby staring at me

And since then I can't see straight

And since then my smile's been fake

Funny I know the troubles I've seen

But through one eye only that's clear

If you bring along your needles

Then I'll bring my sharpened pencils

And draw one more comic tragedy

My baby

So call up the child players

From madam we'll

rent the parlor

And dance to death

till I can't see

My baby
