about

“Come Away, My Love, to the Fig Tree” is the tale of the fig and the wasp; the symbiotic relationship that has sustained forests and been a keystone of the natural world for millennia.

lyrics

Over our heads a million stars
And every day this story starts
A secret world we can’t see
Hidden in a tree
Unfolds, a tale of synergy
It all depends on a wasp so small
It smells the fruit trees call
And flies up to the entryway
Into the fig it finds its way
Loses its wings entering
Then surrendering
A life, exchanged for her offspring
It’s true
Figs are fantastic when tasted
But there can’t be any magic
without the wasp
Hundreds of fig varieties
Each has its own wasp species
The wasp can find just the tree
Where it needs to be
By scent, it has no eyes to see
It lays its eggs and it pollinates
A brand new life awaits
Deep in the fig the larvae grow
And once they’re large they’ll have to go
Find a mate, and bestow pollinate and flow
Then fly into the afterglow
