THE SKATING RINK

And the music from the skating rink
Drifts across the town
And the stars of heaven high above
Forever looking down
And I’m standing looking upward
And I’m listing to the sound
Of the village in the lonely heart of winter

And the lights above the skating rink
Illuminate the scene
And on the snow the shadows show
Footsteps where we’ve been
And Danny’s breath hangs motionless
And hovers like a dream
Above his head in the lonely heart of winter

And the sky abovе the skating rink
Blackened wеight of space
Falls endless on the frozen world
Upon the saving grace
Of the lights around the skating rink
Laughing in the face
Of the darkness at the lonely heart of winter
