The Rose   (Rhythm 181 )   Wade Driver

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK



Circle left
*Some say love, it is a river
And that it drowns the tender leaves

Left allemande, dosado now
Left allemande and weave the ring
**Some say love, it is a hunger
Dosado and promenade
I say love, it is a flower
And you, it's only seed


ALTERNATE LYRICS



*It's the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance

**It's the one who won't be taken
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying
That never learns to live


FIGURE



Heads square thru and you get me 4 now
With the corner, you 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 3 now
Swing and promenade
I say love, it is a flower
And you, it's only seed


CLOSER



Sides face 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) and the strong
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
