D
Love and maple syrup go together

Like the sticky winds of winter when they meet
Em
When lonely lovers come to rest
D
Beneath the trees they do their best
C B7 G
But still they can't be free
D Am
Looking for the world to be
Em G
Anything but what they see
D Am
Longing to be understood
Em
By the heart that shapes the wood

verse 2:
D
If you go into the forest, gaze up through the leaves
C B7 Em
And see the sky that's almost wild
You can learn to understand
D
What makes the forest greet the man
C B7 Em
Like a mother's only child
verse 3:
D
In the north when winter's claw relaxes now
C B7 Em
To keep the law of nature in control
People come and stand in line
D
To rob the forest of her wine
C B7 G
But they don't feel the cold
D Am
Looking for the world to be
Em G
Anything but what they see
D Am
Longing to be understood
Em
By the heart that shapes the wood
