If You Could Read My Mind
Gordon Lightfoot 1970
  (Arrowhead 106)   Dean Singleton
 
two columns

OPENER - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle to the left
If you could read my mind, girl
What a tale my thoughts could tell

Allemande left and then dosado I sing
Left allemande and weave around the ring
You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free
As long as I'm the ghost that you can't see


FIGURE    Mainstream - SSD Week 12, corner progression

Heads (sides) square thru four hands now
To the corner touch 1/4 somehow, scoot back
Boy run around a girl, right & left thru you go
Pass the ocean, swing thru
Boys trade, swing and promenade
And you won't read that book again
Because the ending's just too hard to take


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
If you could read my mind, girl
What a tale my thoughts could tell
When you reach the part where the heartaches come
The hero would be me

Allemande and weave
Heroes often fail
And you won't read that book again
Because the endings just to hard to take


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet

Allemande and weave
You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free
As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see


TAG

If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
