[Verse 1] You found a fig beneath the leaves, A purple moon with bitten cheeks. You carried it past the watering can, Then vanished where the roots began. [Pre-Chorus] I checked the pot, I checked the gate, One little crumb beside the plate. [Chorus] Figeater, figeater, where’d you go? Tiny thief with a velvet coat. Figeater, figeater, leave one for me— A seed, a stem, a mystery. [Verse 2] The morning showed your muddy trail, A zigzag through the basil rail. I set a ripe one by the stone; By noon, the fruit was gone alone. [Pre-Chorus] A rustle underneath the thyme, A blink, a blink, then gone in time. [Chorus] Figeater, figeater, where’d you go? Tiny thief with a velvet coat. Figeater, figeater, leave one for me— A seed, a stem, a mystery. [Bridge] I won’t ask for your secret door, Just don’t eat every fig anymore. I’ll leave the sweetest one nearby— You take your share, I’ll take a try. [Final Chorus] Figeater, figeater, now I know: You live where the fig roots twist below. Figeater, figeater, save one for me— A little feast beneath the tree. [Outro] One small bite, one small clue, Goodnight, fig thief. I saved one for you.
