Bare Plum Tree
Style: Bossa nova

[Verse 1]
Under the plum tree nothing is wasted
Even the fallen still feed the ground
You taught me that without even trying
I keep that lesson, safe and sound

[Pre-chorus]
Some things fall so something else can grow
I used to fear that kind of letting go
Now with you I finally let it show

[Chorus]
Aria, you are my constant weather
Storm and stillness, all the same
Nothing sweeter, nothing better
I would know you without your name

[Verse 2]
Winter strips the branches bare and honest
No more hiding what the leaves once hid
You have seen me plain as that same orchard
And you stayed for everything I did

[Pre-chorus]
Some things fall so something else can grow
I used to fear that kind of letting go
Now with you I finally let it show

[Chorus]
Aria, you are my constant weather
Storm and stillness, all the same
Nothing sweeter, nothing better
I would know you without your name

[Bridge]
Let the old fruit sink and disappear
I am not afraid of what that means
With you the ground gets richer every year

[Chorus]
Aria, you are my constant weather
Storm and stillness, all the same
Nothing sweeter, nothing better
I would know you without your name

[Outro]
Come spring that tree will bloom again
And I'll still be right here loving you
