Her singing talent has lent itself to a wide range of genres, although earlier works, such as 'Angel With a Lariat' and 'Absolute Torch and Twang' (the last of which won her a Grammy Award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance) were predominantly country, with hints of jazz and salsa. Later works, including Ingénue and All You Can Eat, were more pop-ish in execution. No matter the genre, all left her talent undeniable. She has since garnered four grammys and many other awards, and was even made an officer of the Order of Canada in 1996, Canada's highest civilian honour.
Sugar moon
k.d. lang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And around about June
I'll be walkin' with my sugar
'Neath that old sugar moon
All the lovin' I missed
I'll be gettin' it soon
I'll be gettin' it from my sugar
* I can see us right now
Get the calendar down
(And) Draw a circle around
The day we're heaven bound
When it's sugarcane time
And around about June
All the birds will be singin'
'Neath that old sugar moon
(repeat*)
