Baby, see how I been living
Velvet curtains on the windwos 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 wolrd 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

The first time I heard this song I was walking through the French Quarter on a warm January night. I leaned against a wall off of Esplanade and enjoyed one of those effortlessly serene moments life gives us far too infrequently.

How beautiful I’ve found these moments are actually all around us all the time We just don’t realize but I get what you mean you just take a moment feel the wind and hear the music Feel your heart pumping and life in your body and around you 🌌🌅

It's sad that you actually have to go through so much pain to be able to appreciate the beautiful colors of life.

"Lemon trees don't make a sound till the branches bend and fruit falls to the ground." Don't know why, but I love that line.

@jhnplmoore 3 года назад

Because it is a simple beautiful truth; sang in such melancholy. Also very metaphorical.

@totem415 7 лет назад

Wow, this song really grabs me. I'm listening to it on repeat. The words are poetry and the sound is so beautiful and sad. It makes me feel like crying. There aren't too many songs that make me feel that way.

@arieswaters 5 лет назад

I want to try to figure out what he's playing there exactly not real complicated for sure United but could prove maddening for me to try to figure it out. I'm just getting into my scales and knowing where my different notes and Things Are I can sing the song real good like Lucinda and strum it. I love that she's using her song book there in front of her. That makes me so happy cuz I can't get away from doing that

@PhonyFisherman 4 года назад

Ms. Williams, I'd be honered to thank you for this song. I fight the tears writing this..both for the beauty and for the gift this song gives. I'm a Virginia boy who is far from home..in another country fighting to get my little babygirl back who was stolen near on 5 years. This song, your soul and beauty, and the down home America I feel when I hear this is so heart-warming I truly and warmly must send you my best and my most sincere thanks. I feel that every bend of the string or your vocal chords is a soft handfull of pure and raw American soil I can hold in my hand...my teather to my home and all the wonderful values we share. Like those of love and passion you so vividly sing of. I truly believe you have a spot reserved for you with the likes of Billy Holliday and Patsy Kline. You're a true artist, talent and soul which I thought would be sadly missing from the modern generation of art. I was happily proved incorrect. Kind regards
