The Awareness Of Nothing    (LIS 5012)   Lem Smith

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - ENDING



Circle left
*Something tells me the green in the leaves on the tree hasn't changed
Reverse back, girls backtrack, meet your partner
Turn thru, and then allemande, weave the ring
**I looked backward and forward and tried to recapture it all
Promenade
This awareness of nothing is driving me straight up a wall

FIGURE



Eight to the middle and back
Heads promenade half around and the side ladies chain
Heads promenade half around and the sides swing thru
Same two you turn & left thru+, turn your girl
Slide thru, pass thru, swing that corner lady twice around
Promenade
This awareness of nothing is driving me straight up a wall

ALTERNATE LYRICS



*I can vaguely remember the rhythm of the sunshine and rain

**And making up made the pain of growing up worth abiding our recall



*On my face there's a space for the place where a smile used to live



**In the back of my mind there's a love that I keep trying to recall
But somewhere beneath there's awareness of nothing at all

+Turn & left thru: active couples turn thru and courtesy turn the girl on your right.
