Lyrics:

Nothin' so bright
Nothin' so smooth
Nothin' 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 starin' 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
