Fruits of My Labor (Bonus Track)

Baby, see how I've been living

Velvet curtains on the windows to

Save the bright and unforgiving

Light from shining through

Babe, I remember all the things we did

When we slept together in the blue behind your eyelids

Baby, sweet baby

I traced your scent through the gloom

Till 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

Till the branches bend and fruit falls to the ground

Baby, sweet baby

Oh, come to my world and witness

The way things have changed

'Cause I finally did it, babe

Got out of La Grange

I got in my Mercury and drove out west

Pedal to the metal and my luck to the test

Baby, sweet baby

Well, I been trying to enjoy

All the fruits of my labor

I been crying for you, boy

Oh, 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
