My Favorite Plum by Suzanne Vega [Intro] [Verse] 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 [Verse] 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 [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] But 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 had the best yes And that is the one for me [Outro]
