Quetzalcoatl Eats Plums

[Verse 1]
I meant to leave the house this morning
And begin making my way toward where you are
I meant to leave the house this morning
I made it halfway across the front yard

[Chorus]
But the plum tree hung heavy in my head
And the plum tree hung heavy in my heart
And the plum tree hung heavy over me

[Verse 2]
So I tore off to the phone
To call you and tell you something, but I couldn't remember what
Because through the clean, clean windows
Saw the plum tree's leaves, as red as fresh blood

[Chorus]
And the plum tree hung heavy in my head
And the plum tree hung heavy in my heart
And the plum tree hung heavy over me
