Fruits Of My Labor Lyrics

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 eyelids.

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?

Falls to the ground,

Baby, sweet baby.

Instrumental verse.

Come to my world and witness

The way things have changed.

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,

Oohhhh, but the truth is my savior.

Baby, sweet baby,

If it's all the same,

Take the glory

Any day over the fame.

Baby, sweet baby.
