lyrics

If I was still a baby
I'm sure you'd love me
as if I'd never been bad
If I was still a baby
I’m sure you’d love me
as if I’d never been bad

So I went to the graveyard
oh to the graveyard
with my baby in my arms
I dug a tiny tiny grave oh
a tiny grave for that baby in my arms
before, I smashed its head against a gravestone
cause I was thirsty
and then I threw it inside

yes, I had to kill my baby
I truly loved it
but it made me jealous inside
They said such a beautiful baby
such a beautiful baby
but they didn't say that to me

yes, I left I left my baby
in the dumps, in the dumps
where you left me
oh such a beautiful baby
such a beautiful baby
so white and full of blood

If I was still a baby
I'm sure you'd love me
as if I'd never been bad
They said such a beautiful baby
such a beautiful baby
but they didn't say that to me
yes, I had to kill my baby
I truly loved it
but it made me jealous inside
oh such a beautiful baby
such a beautiful baby
so white and full of blood

about

Alicia Edelweiss

Austro-British singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, artist and yarn-spinner, whose imaginative forays into dark folk tales, humour-laden
autobiographical sketches and sideways observations on life are suffused with both a sense of child-like wonder and an arch contemporary savvy, couched in subtly insistent melodic ear-worms. She began her musical career as a teenage street musician.
