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 eyelid
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
Tangerines and persimmons, and sugar cane
Grapes of honeydew melon
Enough fit for a queen
Lemon trees, they don't make a sound
'Til the branches bend and fruit falls to the ground
Baby, sweet baby

Yeah, come to my world and witness the way things have changed
'Cause, I finally did it, baby I, I got out of the grange
I got in my Mercury, 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
Oh, but the truth is my savior
Baby, sweet baby
If it's all the same, take the glory, and day over the fame
Baby, sweet baby
