Lyrics
The Hachiya persimmon in my mother's yard, late November.
Its skin is stretched so tight and orange, I can't remember
A time we didn't count the fruit from the kitchen pane,
A time we didn't leave the last one hanging in the rain.

Yeah, Henry, tonight, I'll bring the last one home to you.
[Outro]
It's probably just a silly story.
Anyway. You want it, Henry?
