about

“Maple Smile” is an old song I wrote in Seattle sometime around 2011- 2012. It was inspired by a very special person I had known in Seattle. It’s a kind of love song I guess. It’s also a love song
about nature and the joy that comes from being out in the countryside, amidst a field of dandelions and dragonflies.

lyrics

maple smile
she loves to ride on the rodeo
apple of my eye
hold on tight babe don’t let go

she can hang on for quite some time
see her brown eyes shine so bright

then she falls and she hits the ground
but she’s up again cause she wants to ride
yes she loves to ride, she loves to ride on the rodeo

dandelion
blow my sorrows far away
dragonfly
got me caught up in your sway

you’ve been riding oh so high
keep me guessing all the time

come to me now, come like a cloud
don’t let me down, cause you got the stuff that I want most
that I love most but I can’t touch
