My Favorite Plum - Suzanne Vega

    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

    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

    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
    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
