Fruits of My Labor

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 we did, when we slept together
 And the blue behind your eyelid
 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, and the 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
 Yeah, 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
 Put 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
 Oh, but the truth is my savior
 Baby, sweet baby
 If it's all the same, take the glory, and day over the fame
 Baby, sweet baby
