THE ROSE (RI 905)

JAKE SHIMADA

OPENER

Circle Left
SOME SAY LOVE, IT IS A RIVER
AND THAT IT DROWNS, THE TENDER LEAVES
LEFT ALLEMANDE AND THEN, DO A DOSADO
LEFT ALLEMANDE AND WEAVE THE RING
SOME SAY LOVE, IT IS A HUNGER
SWING AND PROMENADE
I SAY LOVE, IT IS A FLOWER
AND YOU, ITS ONLY SEED

FIGURE

HEADS SQUARE THRU AND GET ME FOUR NOW
WITH THE CORNER LADY, MAKE A RIGHT HAND STAR
HEADS STAR BY THE LEFT, AND ROLL IT ROUND NOW
TO THE CORNER LADY DO A DOSADO
SLIDE THRU, SQUARE THRU GO THREE NOW
SWING AND PROMENADE
I SAY LOVE, IT IS A FLOWER
AND YOU, ITS ONLY SEED

MIDDLE BREAK

Circle Left
IT'S THE HEART, AFRAID OF BREAKING
THAT NEVER, LEARNS TO DANCE
LEFT ALLEMANDE AND THEN, DO A DOSADO
LEFT ALLEMANDE AND WEAVE THE RING
IT'S THE ONE, WHO WANT BE TAKEN
WHO CANNOT SEEM TO GIVE
AND THE SOUL, AFRAID OF DYING
THAT NEVER LEARNS TO LIVE

CLOSER

Grand Square
WHEN THE NIGHT, HAS BEEN TOO LONELY
AND THE ROAD, HAS BEEN TOO LONG
AND YOU THINK, THAT LOVE IS ONLY
FOR THE LUCKY, ALLEMANDE LEFT AND WEAVE
JUST REMEMBER, IN THE WINTER
FAR BENEATH THE BITTER SNOW
LIES THE SEED, THAT WITH THE SUN'S LOVE
IN THE SPRING, BECOMES A ROSE

TAG

IT'S THE SEED, THAT WITH THE SUN'S LOVE, IN THE SPRING, BECOMES A ROSE

ALTERNATE FIGURE

HEADS SQUARE THRU AND GET ME FOUR NOW
WITH THE CORNER LADY, DO A DOSADO
SWING THRU AND THEN, SPIN THE TOP MY FRIEND
MOVE UP AND THEN, GO RIGHT AND LEFT THRU
YOU SQUARE THRU, GET THREE HANDS NOW
SWING AND PROMENADE
I SAY LOVE, IT IS A FLOWER
AND YOU, ITS ONLY SEED
