A Thousand Feet | (A & S 144) Barry Wonson |
OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face grand square
It's not a hard place, it's a soft and gentle land
Gonna lay my head on that soft and gentle sand
Hear Old Man Time whisper in my ear
A thousand feet, (Allemande and weave)
Hear the desert wind play a lonely tune
Swing your girl, promenade so soon
Stay a while, it's all so clear
A thousand feet have been through here
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Heads a left square thru
Left touch 1/4, walk & dodge, wheel around
Dixie style to an ocean wave
Men cross run, recycle here
Pass thru, allemande left
Come back and promenade
Stay a while, it's all so clear
A thousand feet have been through here
TAG
Ladies chain over & back
For the breaks, you could also eliminate the Grand Square and just use a standard Circle Left and use the lyrics in first two lines, then Men Star Right, etc. The timing for the first 32 beats is a tad tricky and this assists in making the song work better.
