The Long Pirouette Lyrics - Jane Siberry

Sun shine on the moon, shine on the lake 

Moon shine on the snow, shine on my face 

Winter birds go in and out the stars 

Okanagan arrowheads under lace 

My shining skates still on the ground 

Silver web go across the mountain top 

Mountains lift the hem of the horizon 

Pinholes in the black 

Some call them stars, call a little louder 

They will answer you 

My shining skates burst into stars 

It is a long pirouette 

That sends me through 

This shining night 

Sun shine on the moon, shine on the lake 

Velvet comes when all the edges are erased 

Hang out the night it is much rounder here 

Roll off the night onto the ice 

My shining skates still on the ground 

Crease the earth, the snow fall out of sight 

Soft midnight herds go cross the valley 

Valley deepen so there comes a lake 

Lake go to ice so I can skate 

My shining skates burst into stars 

It is a long pirouette 

That brings me through 

This shining night
