Love And Maple Syrup Lyrics by Gordon Lightfoot

Love And Maple Syrup Lyrics

    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
