Fruits Of My Labor (Album Version)

Fruits Of My Labor (Album Version) - Lucinda Williams

Written by：Lucinda Williams

Baby see how I been livin'

Velvet curtains on the windows too

Keep the bright and unforgiving

Light from shining through

Baby remember all the things that did

When we slept together

And the blue behind your eyelids

Baby

Sweet baby

Traced the scent through the gloom

'Til I found these purple flowers

I was spent I was soon

Smelling you for hours

Lavender lotus blossoms too

Why does the dirt

Flowers last for you baby

Sweet baby

Tangerines and persimmons

And sugar cane

Grapes of honeydew melon

Enough fit for a queen

Lemon trees they don't make a sound

'Til the 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

I got out of the grange

I got in my mercury

And drove out west

Pedal to the metal

My luck to the test baby

Sweet baby

I've been trying to enjoy

All the fruits of my labour

I've been crying 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

I've been trying to enjoy

All the fruits of my labour

I've been crying 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
