Maple Light 3

Verse 1

Step off the tram, the rails still ring

Red leaves skate along the line

Turn up your collar, take my arm

The stoplight winks, it's right on time

Every window pours like tea

Warm and amber, nice and slow

Breathe it in, the smoky air

Walk with me where the lanterns go

Pre-Chorus

Don't look for words for this

Just let your hand find mine

Chorus

Stay in the maple light

Let the leaves fall where they fall

Stay in the maple light

No need to rush at all

Red on the street, gold in your eyes

Stay in the maple light

Verse 2

Your scarf takes off like a startled bird

Then settles back, a little shy

The tea shop lanterns swing hello

Like they've been waiting up all night

The traffic hums a lazy bass

The crosswalk counts to four

Spin once beside the curb with me

The leaves come back for more

Pre-Chorus

Don't look for words for this

Just let your hand find mine

Chorus

Stay in the maple light

Let the leaves fall where they fall

Stay in the maple light

No need to rush at all

Red on the street, gold in your eyes

Stay in the maple light

Bridge

The city dims to amber now

It leans in close to hear us talk

Carry nothing, travel light

Let the red leaves lead the walk

Lean in, I'm leaning too

The whole street leans with you

Final Chorus

Stay in the maple light

Let the leaves fall where they fall

Stay in the maple light

No need to rush at all

Red on the street, gold in your eyes

Stay in the maple light

Outro

Travel maple light

Light as the leaves that fall

Stay in the maple light
