As my baby
All of my life days into night, all I did dream
Was my baby
Until the days 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
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 days 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 Explain Request ×
