Moonlight Skater

Moonlight skater
On your little ice pond hidden in the pines
Stars above are silver fruit on heaven’s vine
Cool wind in your scarlet curls
O lonely moonlight skater twirl

Moonlight skater
Finding sweet escape in leaps and figure eights
Floating into dreams with wings upon your skates
Spinning upward toward the sky
O lonely moonlight skater fly

You slip past your mother out into the bright moonglow
She holds her wine just like she once held you long ago
O you’ve lived a lifetime for one of your tender years
Are those snowflakes on your cherry cheeks or frozen tears

Moonlight skater
Safe there in the mist of midnight evergreens
Stars upon the ice are mirrors of your dreams
Faith has found your weary eyes
So lonely moonlight skater rise
