[Verse 1] I have known my blueberry sorrows Dark enough to stain the tongue I have carried pomegranate Red and restless through my blood I have loved through loss and laughter Learned what staying asks of me Now the colors run together Into something dark and sweet [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need to chase the wanting Just because I know it’s there There are too many kinds of loving Already blooming everywhere [Chorus] My love is more than longing My passion’s more than one Maybe all the life I’m building Is the love I’ve now become Blueberry sorrows In my pomegranate blood Leave me somewhere in between And I relish life in plum Dark and sweet Ripe and full Every shade I’ve lived through Made this color beautiful My love is more than longing And I’m nowhere near done I’ve got all these juicy passions And I’m living them in plum [Verse 2] There are voices at my table There are stories in my hands There are songs that keep unfolding There are colors making plans There is faith beneath the questions There is laughter down the hall There are people I would choose again Through the rising and the fall I am learning how to love me Not the girl I used to be But the woman still becoming With a richer kind of sweet [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need to chase the wanting Just because I know it’s there There are too many kinds of loving Already blooming everywhere [Chorus] My love is more than longing My passion’s more than one Maybe all the life I’m building Is the love I’ve now become Blueberry sorrows In my pomegranate blood Leave me somewhere in between And I relish life in plum Dark and sweet Ripe and full Every shade I’ve lived through Made this color beautiful My love is more than longing And I’m nowhere near done I’ve got all these juicy passions And I’m living them in plum [Bridge] Longing’s not the leading lady She don’t get top billing now Still she waits there in the curtains For another little bow I tell my heart, “You’re finished” It says, “Don’t be naïve” Then slips back behind the velvet Gives the orchestra the lead Maybe someone waits there somewhere Maybe someday love walks in But I won’t put down this whole life Just to wonder where they’ve been If I see them, I will see them If I don’t, I still have room For a thousand kinds of loving All ripening into plum [Final Chorus] My love is more than longing My passion’s more than one Maybe all the life I’m building Is the love I’ve now become Blueberry sorrows In my pomegranate blood Leave me somewhere in between And I relish life in plum Dark and sweet Ripe and full Every shade I’ve lived through Made this color beautiful My love is more than longing And I’m nowhere near done I’ve got all these juicy passions And I’m living them in plum [Outro] Not quite sorrow Not quite fire Something richer than desire My love is more than longing And I’m nowhere near done I’ve survived enough of blue To know I love my life in plum
