lyrics

Tap into the heart of it, bleed out the scaly skin
Drill yourself a little hole through three of four life rings
Hammer in the spigot, out drips the filtered gold
Harvest of the early spring, we break from frosty cold

Oh, silky sweetness
For you, a constant yearn
Pass it down, it’s my turn, it’s my turn

Chop up its fallen brethren, with a blade that’s finely honed
Stack up the little pieces, left to dry the body’s toned
Set fire to the smallest first, build up to limbs and trunk
On heat of them, we boil the blood, in syrup we will dunk

Oh, sweet and heavy,
You’re now a part of me
Charge the cells and feed my bones, feed my bones

A long run to the sugar shack, hey, what’s he doing in there?
Stoke and boil a little more, sediment is high this year
Pour a little on some snow, jack wax, a child’s delight
Nutrients from soily earth, fluids and sunlight
Gravity fed IV drip, designed in reverse
A few short weeks to get our fill, it’s nature’s little curse
Trudging through the slushy mess, it’s worth it I confess
Tally up the earnings now, this year we live on less

Oh, silky sweetness
For you, a constant yearn
Pass it down, it’s my turn, it’s my turn
