Head ladies center teacup chain
It's a lesson too late for the learnin'
Made of sand, made of sand
In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin'
In your hand, in your hand, Allemande and weave
Are you going away with no word of farewell?
Will there be not a trace left behind?
I could've loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

Heads (Sides) pass the ocean, extend
Swing thru, girls fold, peel the top
Boys move up and right & left thru
Pass the ocean, all eight circulate
Single hinge, follow your neighbor, half spread
Swing the corner lady and promenade
I could've loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing (on my mind)

As we walk along my thoughts are tumblin'
Round and round, round and round
Underneath our feet a subway's rumblin'
Underground, underground
Allemande and weave
Are you going away with no word of farewell?
Will there be not a trace left behind?
I could've loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

You've got reason a plenty for goin'
This I know, this I know
The weeds have been steadily growin'
Please don't go, please don't go
Allemande and weave
Are you going away with no word of farewell?
Will there be not a trace left behind?
I could've loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
