Sides face, grand square
*Tonight I am aching, my body is shaking
Tonight Carmen's coming back home
Tonight there'll be no room for tears in my bedroom
Tonight Carmen's... (Allemande left and weave)
**Tonight as I stand here, I notice my hand here
Is trembling like never before
How can I hide it, how can I deny it
Tonight Carmen's coming back home

*The lips that have kissed, that loved her and missed her
Are lips that now curse her at night
In anguish and torment, I cursed as the night went
From darkness to dawn (Allemande left and weave)
**I've thought of just taking these two hands and breaking
The body I've waited to touch

Heads promenade travel halfway around
Down the middle and do the right & left thru
Now the sides square thru, four hands around you do
Make a right hand star with the outside two
The sides star left inside around the set then
Swing the corner girl and you promenade
How can I hide it, how can I deny it
Tonight Carmen's coming back home
