Fruits Of My Labor

[00:17.86] Baby, see how I been living
[00:22.18] Velvet curtains on the windows to
[00:26.34] Keep the bright and unforgiving
[00:31.50] Light from shining through
[00:35.65] Baby, I remember all the things we did
[00:39.87] When we slept together in the blue behind your eyelids, baby
[00:48.12] Sweet baby
[00:52.09] Traced your scent through the gloom
[00:56.47] 'Til I found these purple flowers
[01:00.70] I was spent, I was soon
[01:05.61] Smelling you for hours
[01:09.80] Lavender, lotus blossoms too
[01:14.13] Water the dirt, flowers last for you, baby
[01:22.49] Sweet baby
[01:26.26] Tangerines and persimmons
[01:30.73] And sugarcane
[01:34.94] Grapes and honeydew melon
[01:39.15] Enough fit for a queen
[01:44.11] Lemon trees don't make a sound
[01:48.12] 'Til branches bend and fruit falls to the ground, baby
[01:56.64] Sweet baby
[02:00.35]
[02:35.00] Come to my world and witness
[02:39.25] The way things have changed
[02:43.73] 'Cause I finally did it, baby
[02:48.28] I got out of La Grange
[02:52.92] Got my Mercury and drove out west
[02:57.14] Pedal to the metal and my luck to the test, baby
[03:05.13] Sweet baby
[03:09.34] I been tryin' to enjoy
[03:13.51] All the fruits of my labor
[03:17.74] I been cryin' for you, boy
[03:22.28] But truth is my savior
[03:27.20] Baby, sweet baby, if it's all the same
[03:31.59] Take the glory any day over the fame, baby
[03:39.48] Sweet baby
[03:43.45] I been tryin' to enjoy
[03:47.94] All the fruits of my labor
[03:52.20] I been cryin' for you, boy
[03:56.65] But truth is my savior
[04:01.41] Baby, sweet baby, if it's all the same
[04:05.70] Take the glory any day over the fame, baby
[04:13.86] Sweet baby
[04:17.82]
