Love and maple syrup goes 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 

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 must learn to understand

What makes the forest greet the man

Like a mother's only child 



In the north when 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 



Looking for the world to be

Anything but what they see

Longing to be understood

By the heart that shapes the wood 



Love and maple syrup goes 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 



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 



Looking for the world to be

Anything but what they see

Longing to be understood

By the heart that shapes the wood
