Four ladies chain turn this girl
Rollaway and circle left
Four ladies rollaway and circle
Allemande left and weave the ring
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we
Swing and promenade
Grey clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from above

Heads (Sides) square thru
Does it almost feel like
Swing thru, boys trade, boys run
Tag the line all the way thru, cloverleaf
Girls square thru 3, boys half sashay
Swing this corner, promenade
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?

Sides face grand square
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
Allemande left and weave the ring
And when I go there, I go there with you
Swing, promenade
Does it almost feel like you've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
