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 above the skating rink

blackened weight 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.



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.
