We’re all Alone  (KDM 179)  Chris Froggatt  (Boz Scaggs) 1976

OPENER

Circle Left

       (Wait for saxophone notes)

Outside the rain begins

And it may never end

4 Men Star Right, one time around there you know

Allemande Left and you Weave round the Ring

Forevermore… Swing, Promenade

Forevermore…

FIGURE

(Now the) Heads Promenade, travel Halfway around there you know

Lead Right, Right & Left Thru turn and go

Veer Left, Couples Circulate

Chain down that Line for me, turn the girl

Pass the Ocean and then, Men Circulate, Girls you Trade

Swing and Promenade

Forevermore…

MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER

Sides Face Grand Square

Close the window, calm the light

And it will be all right

No need to bother now

Let it out, let it all begin (Allemande Left and Weave)

All's forgotten now, my love

Swing and Promenade

We’re all alone…

TAG

No Tag (Saxophone Solo)

ORIGINAL LYRICS

Outside the rain begins
And it may never end
So cry no more, on the shore a dream
Will take us out to sea
Forevermore, forevermore

 

Close your eyes and dream
And you can be with me
'Neath the waves, through the caves of hours
Gone, forgotten now
We're all alone, we're all alone

 

Close the window, calm the light
And it will be all right
No need to bother now
Let it out, let it all begin
Learn how to pretend

 

Once a story's told
It can't help but grow old
Roses do, lovers too, so cast
Your seasons to the wind
And hold me dear, oh, hold me dear

 

Close the window, calm the light
And it will be all right
No need to bother now
Let it out, let it all begin
All's forgotten now
We're all alone, all alone

 

Close the window, calm the light
And it will be all right
No need to bother now
Let it out, let it all begin
Owe it to the wind, my love, hold me dear

 

All's forgotten now, my love
We're all alone
