[VERSE 1:]
D
Love and maple syrup go together
C B7
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

Looking for the world to be

Anything but what they see

Longing to be understood

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

[CHORUS:]

Looking for the world to be

Longing to be understood

By the heart that shapes the wood

Like thoughts divine, they tell us it is spring

The thoughts of people into words

The songs that they can sing
