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 And 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 And 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

And 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
