My Favorite Plum (Acoustic Version)

[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

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

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]

But 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 seen the rest, yes

That is the one for me

I've had the best, yes

That is the one for me
