This song was inspired while walking outside one day in the middle of winter...near the Appalachian Trail in northern Virginia...after a snow and freezing rain left the trees standing frozen like bones....and begging for sun.

lyrics
Once we saw colors, red and gold
Burning like fire, on the hill
Waiting, for summer
Trees stand like bones and, pray for sun
Once we heard music, in the fields
Echoing ancient melodies
Waiting, for summer
The silent snow is, fast asleep
Iʼll find the shelter where you hide away, my love
Clear a path up to your door
Throw back the curtains ʻtill a million beams of light
Refracting green and blue
Once we saw colors burning
Like fire on the hill
Once we hear music playing
Echoing through the hills
Waiting, for summer
The frozen stems will, rise again
