The Awareness Of Nothing
  (Lightning S 5012)   Lem Smith
 
two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Mainstream

Circle left
*Something tells me the green in the leaves on the tree hasn't changed
Reverse back, girls backtrack, meet your partner
Turn thru, and then allemande, weave the ring
**I looked backward and forward and tried to recapture it all
Promenade
This awareness of nothing is driving me straight up a wall

FIGURE    C4, no progression

Eight to the middle and back
Heads promenade half around and the side ladies chain
Heads promenade half around and the sides swing thru
Same two you turn & left thru*, turn your girl
Slide thru, pass thru, swing that corner lady twice around
Promenade
This awareness of nothing is driving me straight up a wall

ALTERNATE LYRICS

*I can vaguely remember the rhythm of the sunshine and rain

**And making up made the pain of growing up worth abiding our recall
And we traded all of that for awareness of nothing at all

*On my face there's a space for the place where a smile used to live

**In the back of my mind there's a love that I keep trying to recall
But somewhere beneath there's awareness of nothing at all


*Turn & left thru: From facing couples (or a R-H Wave).
Turn thru then Courtesy Turn.
