Lyrics

RED MAPLE
Maple glisters out my window pane
Smiling shyly as I speak her name

Red maple bowing how she still remains

Down her leaves fly helicopters

Maple flowers and our memories rest
I
n her brown arms where the crows made nests
Dreams are woken beating robin’s breast

Down her leaves fly helicopters

And when I see her whether flush or withered dry
Once the sun’s upon her

Lifts me up with hue and clamour

Red scarlet maple with her fiery mane
Flows ever wildly as the wind reframes

Dew eyed and wistful hummingbird refrains

Down her leaves fly helicopters

Maple autumn warms the chilly air

Full moon it perches midst her branches bare
Red maple leaves lying crisp declare

Down her leaves fly helicopters
