Lyrics My Favorite Plum - Suzanne Vega

My Favorite Plum

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
