Lucinda Williams - Fruits Of My Labor Lyrics
Baby, see how I been livingVelvet curtains on the windwos toKeep the bright and unforgivingLight from shining throughBaby, I remember all the things we didWhen we slept togetherIn the blue behind your eyelidsBaby, sweet babyTraced your scent through the gloom'Til I found these purple flowersI was spent, I was soon smelling you for hoursLavender, lotus blossoms tooWater the dirt, flowers last for youBaby, sweet babyTangerines and persimmonsAnd sugarcaneGrapes and honeydew melonEnough fit for a queenLemon trees don't make a sound'Til branches bend and fruit falls to the groundBaby, sweet babyCome to my wolrd and witnessThe way things have changed'Cause I finally did it, babyI got out of La GrangeGot in my Mercury and drove out westPedal to the metal and my luck to the testBaby, sweet babyI been tryin' to enjoy all the fruits of my laborI been cryin' for you boy but truth is my saviorBaby, sweet baby if it's all the sameTake the glory and day over the fameBaby, sweet baby
