Lyrics:

I have seen the golden summer light
Flicker in the trees
In the orchard where the long grass
Sways in the breeze
In the shade across the fence
An old man in a chair
Dreams of the names and faces
Who've been there

But lately I have seen you fading
As the world is changing
As the seasons fly
Still my heart in secret
Holds on to the deepest colors
Of the earth and sky

In the graying of the year
When leaves and sunlight fall
Make the shadows of the orchard
Deep and tall
Then the winter comes and covers
All that does not move
Underneath the Sangre Cristo
Stars and moon

But I will come and find you
When the spring unbinds you
Singing of an older time
Still my heart in secret
Holding to the deepest colors
Of the earth and sky
