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 |
