Capo 1
Baby, [G]see how I been living
Velvet [Am]curtains on the windows [C]to
Keep the [G]bright and unforgiving
[Am]Light from shining [C]through
[G]Baby, I remember all the [C]things we did
[G]When we slept together and the [C]blue behind your eyelids
[Am]Baby, sweet [C]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
Harmonica
Come to my world and witness
The way things have changed
'Cause I finally did it, baby
I got out of La Grange
Got 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 and day over the fame
Baby, sweet baby
