Fruits Of My Labor Lyrics

Fruits Of My Labor lyrics

Baby, see how I been living
Velvet curtains on the windows to
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 wolrd 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 and day
over the fame
