Fruits Of My Labor [Live (2003/The Fillmore, San Francisco)]

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 GrangeGot 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
