Lucinda williams 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 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

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

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 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      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

Lucinda Williams Fruits of My Labor

Lyricist:Lucinda Williams

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
Are not 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

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

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
