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,
Ive seen the rest, yes
and that is the one for me
See how it shines
it will be so sweet
Ive been so dry
it would make my heart complete
See how it lays
languid and slow
Never noticing
me here below
Ive 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
Ill be right here
longing endlessly
Youll say that Im
foolish to trust
But it will be mine
and I know that it must
cause Ive had the rest, yes
and that is the one for me
Ive seen the best, yes
and that is the one for me
