If You Could Read My Mind

two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts could tell

Left allemande, then dosado your own girl
Left allemande and weave around that ring
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
You know that ghost is me


FIGURE    Mainstream - SSD Week 12, corner progression

The heads (sides) square thru four hands round now
Dosado that corner lady again, make your wave ladies trade
Recycle around now
Star thru and do the right & left thru
Square thru three
Swing and promenade
Well I don't know where we went wrong
But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
About a ghost from a wishing well

Four ladies chain on across
Chain her back now take her promenade around that ring
The hero never fails

CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts could tell

Allemande left and then, dosado your own girl
Left allemande c'mon and weave that ring!
The hero never fails
And if you read between the lines
You'll know that I'm just trying to understand

If you could read my mind
What a tale my thoughts could tell
