OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
Took a walk and passed your house, late last night
All the shades were pulled and drawn, way down tight

Left allemande you dosado
Allemande left your corner you weave around the ring
Put his arms around your waist, held you tight
Kisses I could almost taste, in the night
Wondered why I'm not the guy, who's silhouette's on the shade
I couldn't hide, the tears in my eye


FIGURE    Basic, corner progression

Heads you promenade and halfway way 'round
Down the middle square thru four, four hands 'round
All the way a right & left thru, you turn the girl
You pass thru, trade by, star thru
Square thru count three, three hands 'round
Swing the corner, promenade, 'round the town
Wondered why I'm not the guy, who's silhouette's on the shade
**I couldn't hide, the tears in my eye


ALTERNATE LYRICS

**Said to my shock, "You're on the wrong block."

MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 1

Join your hands, circle left
Put his arms around your waist, held you tight
Kisses I could almost taste, in the night

Left allemande, you dosado
Allemande left your corner, you weave around the ring
Lost control and rang your bell, I was sore
Let me in or I'll beat down the door
When two strangers who have been two silhouettes on the shade
Said to my shock, "You're on the wrong block."


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
Lost control and rang your bell, I was sore
Let me in or I'll beat down the door

Left allemande, you dosado
Allemande left your corner, you weave around the ring
Rushed down to your house with wings on my feet
Loved you like I'd never loved you my sweet
Vowed that you and I would be two silhouettes on the shade
All of our days, two silhouettes on the shade


TAG

Bow to your partner and your corner, too
You thank them and I thank you
