A county-rock song about lonely winter nights, dreaming about sitting by a campfire, catching a song that comes out of the blue.

Story behind the song
Written when I was in a strange town in the middle of winter, away from those I care about, and dreaming of when we would be together again.
Lyrics
In the dark unbroken night
Lit alone by firelight
There's a melody that hides there waiting
It's a song you never knew
That came out of the blue
It's there to keep your heart from aching
Roasting by the fire
Listening to the moon and clouds sing
Sweet and sad lonely lullabies
Watch the seasons retire
Return again, the colored leaves proud
Sing sweet, sad, lonely lullabies
Sweet and sad lonely lullabies
If you've gotten far from home
And feel you're all alone
There's a forest where nature lies asleep
Go out at dawn's first light
And watch the sky grow bright
It was put there
to make your heart leap
Roasting by the fire
Listening to the moon and clouds sing
Sweet and sad lonely lullabies
Watch the seasons retire
Return again, the colored leaves proud
Sing sweet, sad, lonely lullabies
Sweet and sad lonely lullabies
Now we're finally on our way
To a new home we'll reach one day
Restart our lives
With everyone together
We be sharing our new life
Myself and my wife
Fireplace warming us
against the weather
Roasting by the fire
Listening to the moon and clouds sing
Sweet and sad lonely lullabies
Watch the seasons retire
Return again, the colored leaves proud
Sing sweet, sad, lonely lullabies
Sweet and sad lonely lullabies
Sweet and sad lonely lullabies
Sing sweet, sad, lonely lullabies
