Rufus Wainwright - Baby Lyrics






Nothing so bright
Nothing so small
Nothing so pure as my baby

All of my life
Days into nights
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
So call up the child players
From madame we'll rent the parlor
And dance to death till i can't see
My baby

    Several years ago, CBS Sunday Morning did a profile on this new openly gay singer dude named Rufus Wainwright. In one segment, he played a little snippet of this song. It was just him, that woozy bluesy-sad voice @ his paino. I fell in total DIG w/ the moment & w/ him as an artist. Rushed out to cop his debut CD the very next day. Been a fan ever since. This is my favorite song of his. Thanks for posting it!

    I wish there was more attention given to this song. I don't think he's played it live which is a shame. Thanks for posting.

    He played this at Maxwell's, in Hoboken, NJ March 1st, 1999...I was there and recorded the show which is out in trading circles. I'm sure he's played it at other times as well.

    Couldn't agree more - it is amazing and beautiful! Thank you for putting it up.
