Sarah Segal-Lazar - Maple Song Lyrics

You tell me that the maples are dying
That's why they haven't changed colour
You say there's something going around
And it'll kill off all the others
But I'll take that leaf
Whether it's red or it's brown
I'll tattoo it to my shoulder
As I head out of town
So I'll keep driving
Past the borders of home
I'll keep stretching out my boundaries
To see where I belong
I keep your penny in my pocket
Where the copper maple never dies
You say the caterpillar's come
And eaten all of the leaves
And there's no beauty in the butterfly
If it kills all it sees
And it could be years
'Til I come back to you
I don't know when I'll return
But it won't be soon
So I'll keep driving
Past the borders of home
I'll keep stretching out my boundaries
To see where I belong
I keep your penny in my pocket
Where the copper maple never dies
And you can hate me for deserting
To the red white and blue
But when I said it was me
I hope you know it was you
Still as I cross the 49
I leave a part of me behind
I lose me when I leave you
So I'll keep driving
Past the borders of home
I'll keep stretching out my boundaries
To see where I belong
I keep your penny in my pocket
Where the copper maple never dies
So I'll keep driving
Past the borders of home
I'll keep stretching out my boundaries
To see where I belong
I keep your penny in my pocket
Where the copper maple never dies
So I'll keep driving
Past the borders of home
I'll keep stretching out my boundaries
To see where I belong
I keep your penny in my pocket
Where the copper maple never dies
