[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
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
