Fruits Of My Labor Lyrics - Live At The Fillmore - Lucinda Williams

Baby, see how I been living 

Velvet curtains on the windows too 

Keep the bright and unforgiving 

Light from shining through 

Baby, I remember all the things we did 

When we slept together 

In the blue behind your eyelids 

Baby, sweet baby 

Traced your scent through the gloom 

'Til I found these purple flowers 

I was spent, I was soon smelling you for hours

Lavender, lotus blossoms too 

Water the dirt, flowers last for you 

Baby, sweet baby 

Tangerines and persimmons 

And sugarcane 

Grapes and honeydew melon 

Enough fit for a queen 

Lemon trees don't make a sound 

'Til branches bend and fruit falls to the ground 

Baby, sweet baby 

Come to my world and witness 

The way things have changed 

'Cause I finally did it, baby 

I got out of La Grange 

Got in my Mercury and drove out west 

Pedal to the metal and my luck to the test 

Baby, sweet baby

I been tryin' to enjoy all the fruits of my labor 

I been cryin' for you boy but truth is my savior 

Baby, sweet baby if it's all the same 

Take the glory any day over the fame 

Baby, sweet baby
