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 is almost wild   You can 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 law   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 shine like   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 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      Looking for the world to be   Anything but what they see   Longing to be understood   By the heart that shapes the wood
