Great Canadian classic! Listen to the song at www.davidfrancey.com *no capo, strummed with a Celtic-like bounce SKATING RINK (David Francey) DThe (xx0232@1)music from the skating rink Drifts across the town GThe (320003@1)stars of heaven high above Forever looking down DI (xx0232@1)stand here looking upward, And I'm listening to the sound G (320003@1) A (x02220@1) DOf (xx0232@1)the village in the lonely heart of winter 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 Hovers like a dream Above his head, in the lonely heart of winter The sky above the skating rink The 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
