OPENER
Circle
Left
Now
there was a time, here was a place I loved
Why
don't the Men Star by the Right one time around and do the
Allemande
with the corner Left and Weave that ring
Careless
and crazy
Running to, God knows where
Swing
that girl promenade
Now
where is that heartland?
Where is the one who
cares?
FIGURE
Why
don't the Heads (Sides)
Square Thru 4 hands round
You fly, Touch ¼, Scootback, Split Circulate, Girls Run
Reverse
Flutterwheel half Sashay and then, Slide Thru
Swing the corner promenade around the ring
I
might sail forever and never find that Island again.

don't the Heads (Sides)

I
might sail forever and never find that Island again.

Allemande
Left and Weave that ring
I
can hear you calling
Wandering boy, come home soon
And I can hear the
music
I can see your face in the moon
CLOSER
Sides
Face Grand Square
I
fight with my mem'ry
And find all the pieces I can
Of that beautiful
woman
Who trusted her heart in my hands
Allemande

Now

Would let such a dream get lost?
Cuz tonight we'd be
sailing
Out under that old southern cross
Allemande

Tonight
we'd be sailing
Out under that old southern
cross
