OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face grand square
*There are the roses, and there are the thorns
There's time for happiness, and there's time to mourn
Left allemande and weave the ring
**There time to love and when love has faded and worn
Dosado and promenade
***Instead of the roses, there are the thorns
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Once there was spring and the flowers were gentle and sweet
I inhaled the goodness of love and my life was complete
**I reached for the rose and its petals were brushed by my touch
***I hurt your heart and the thorns are now hurting too much
*Roses and thorns, so close together they grow
There's madness and sadness, emotions that everyone knows
**When there is one, the other can't be far behind
***And the stem with the thorn is all mine
FIGURE C4, corner progression
1 & 3 (2 & 4) pass thru, separate around one, make a line
Walk up to the middle and back
Curlique and then all eight circulate two times around
Boys run right, substitute
Square thru 3 hands, that corner swing and promenade
Oh, oh, instead of the roses, there are the thorns
