Lyrics
Baby
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 clean
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
