Karaoké Fruits of My Labor Lucinda Williams

Baby see how I been livin'

Velvet curtains on the windows to keep the bright and unforgivin' light from shinin' 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 'till I found these purple flowers

I was spent, I was soon smellin' 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 'till branches bend and fruit falls to the ground baby

Sweet baby

Come to my world and witness the way things have changed

'Cos I finally did it baby

I got out of La Grange

Got 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

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
