LOVE AND MAPLE SYRUP

Love and Maple Syrup go together
Like the sticky winds of winter when they meet
When lonely lovers come to rest beneath the trees they do their best
But still they can't be free
	
CHORUS: 	
Looking for the world to be
Anything but what they see
Longing to be understood
By the heart that shapes the wood

If you go into the forest, gaze up through the leaves
And see the sky that's almost wild
You can learn to understand what makes the forest greet the man
Like a mother's only child

In the north when winter’s claw relaxes now 
To keep the laws of nature in control
People come and stand in line to rob the forest of her wine
But they don't feel the cold

CHORUS

Love and maple syrup shine like embers warm, 
Like thoughts divine, they tell us it is spring
Love and maple syrup stir the thoughts of people into words
Of songs that they can sing 

Love and maple syrup go together
Like the sticky winds of winter when they meet
When lonely lovers come to rest beneath the trees they do their best
But still they can't be free

CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL
