My Favorite Plum Lyrics

My Favorite Plum lyrics

My favorite plum

 hangs so far from me

 See how it sleeps

 and hear how it calls to me

 See how the flesh

 presses the skin,

 It must be bursting

 with secrets within,

 I've seen the rest, yes

 and that is the one for me

 

 See how it shines

 it will be so sweet

 I've been so dry

 it would make my heart complete

 See how it lays

 languid and slow

 Never noticing

 me here below

 I've seen the best, yes

 and that is the one for me

 

 Maybe a girl will take it

 Maybe a boy will steal it

 Maybe a shake of the bough

 will wake it and make it fall

 

 My favorite plum

 lies in wait for me

 I'll be right here

 longing endlessly

 You'll say that I'm 

 foolish to trust

 But it will be mine

 and I know that it must

 cause I've had the rest, yes

 and that is the one for me

 I've seen the best, yes

 and that is the one for me
