OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
*The harbor lights were shining, the moon was in its high
The captain said, that God we're home, we've drunk the barrel dry
The mizzen mast was shaky, and the lanterns all burned low
I never thought we'd make it, but we've 20 leagues to go

Four ladies promenade now, once around you go
Swing your own and promenade, once around the floor
I know I'm gonna miss the sand in my hand
The roll of the tide and the song in the air
Deep inside it's true
I'm a home lovin' man and I'm comin' on home to you


FIGURE    C4, corner progression

The head two couples pass thru, do a u-turn back in time
Do a curlique in front of you and make a right hand star and go
Heads star by the left in the middle, once around will do
To the same outside pair, you do the right & left thru
Swing thru and the boys run, do a half tag the line
Swing that corner there and promenade in time
I know I'm gonna miss the wind in my eyes
The shimmer of light where the seagulls fly
Though I've traveled far
I'm a home lovin' man and home is where you are


FIGURE (ALTERNATE)    Plus, corner progression

The head two couples square thru 4 hands around you go
And with the outside couple there, a right & left thru you know
Swing thru and then, boys run right
Ladies hinge, diamond circulate tonight
Flip your diamond and recycle round you go
Swing the corner lady and promenade the ring

ALTERNATE LYRICS

*The crowd upon the quaysound, their faces long and drawn
Were suddenly awakened as we sailed in on the dawn
The wives, the sons and lovers, who never gave up hope
All breathed a sigh together as they reached to catch the rope


TAG

Deep inside it's true
I'm a home lovin' man and I'm comin' on home to you
