Intro: verse 1: 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 Looking for the world to be Anything but what they see Longing to be understood By the heart that shapes the wood INTERLUDE: verse 2: 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 verse 3: In the north 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 Instrumental:
