Her song "Call Of The Wild", which you can listen to below, opens with the following lyrics:

Trees silhouette , pale skies Stars cross the moon. Ice crystals swirl the dawn will break soon. Up bound the North Shore trail Sawtooth Mountains lie ahead. John Beargrease brings the news With four leggeds and a sled.
