My Favorite Plum

My favorite plum
Hangs so far from me
See how it sleeps
And hear how it calls to meSee how the flesh
Presses the skin
It must be bursting
With secrets withinAnd I've seen the rest, yes
And that is the one for meSee how it shines
It will be so sweet
I've been so dry
It would make my heart completeSee how it lays
Languid and slow
Never noticing
Me here belowAnd I've seen the best, yes
And that is the one for meMaybe a girl will take it
Maybe a boy will steal it
Maybe a shake of the bough
Will wake it and make it fallMy favorite plum
Lies in wait for me
And I'll be right here
Longing endlesslyYou'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
