We were looking for a song to sing alongside a favorite tune, Colrain. Since we couldn't think of one we knew, we made one up. We're still not sure how it came together, or how many more times it will change…

As I looked out on the April rain
Come down the valley streaming
I counted the winter days alone
And spring was a long time coming
One for winter, two for spring
Three for the evening sky
All you need is a little sign
But spring is a candle in the wind
Hey-o, say-o, oh for the joy you bring
I come over the Sharon Hills
The mountain stone a'shining
And all the world was wild with rain
And the mountain grass a'greening
There's days I sing and days I don't
And days I let go by
And days I long to walk these roads
And see the kestrel fly-o
One for winter, two for spring
Three for the evening sky
All you need is a little sign
The warm and the wind to blow you home
Hey-o, say-o…
There's days I dance and days I don't
And days I watch the rain
And days the littlest lead will shine
And the smallest bird will sing
As I come over the hills of home
I heard the kestrel cry
And all the hills gave on the song
And the word was full of sky-o
One for winter, two for spring
Three for the evening sky
All you need is a little sign
And all the world will breathe again
Hey-o, say-o….
One for Winter/Colrain is recorded on the album Neighbors
