Gordon Lightfoot - Love & Maple Syrup Lyrics
Love and maple syrup goes togetherLike the sticky winds of winter when they meetWhen lonely lovers come to restBeneath the trees they do their bestBut still they cant be freeLooking for the world to beAnything but what they seeLonging to be understoodBy the heart that shapes the woodIf you go into the forest, gaze up through the leavesAnd see the sky thats almost wildYou must learn to understandWhat makes the forest greet the manLike a mothers only childIn the north when when winters clawRelaxes now to keep the laws of nature in controlPeople come and stand in lineTo rob the forest of her wineBut they dont feel the coldLooking for the world to beAnything but what they seeLonging to be understoodBy the heart that shapes the woodLove and maple syrup goes togetherLike the sticky winds of winter when they meetWhen lonely lovers come to restBeneath the trees they do their bestBut still they cant be freeLove and maple syrup shine likeEmbers warm, like thoughts divineThey tell us it is springLove and maple syrup stirThe thoughts of people into wordsOf songs that they can singLooking for the world to beAnything but what they seeLonging to be understoodBy the heart that shapes the wood
