A Shearing of The Heart

45 degrees, check-apologize,

slash, step together, slash step together, slash

this simple shearing dance is done progress to the next partner

45 degrees-check, slash step together, slash, step together slash

snip the leader, swirl the knife, slash, apologize

this shearing dance is done move on

once-again, apologize, 45 degrees-check, slash step together, slash, step together, slash

snip the leader, swirl the knife, slash,

this shearing dance is done, progress to the next partner

slash, slash, slash… step together, move-out

slash, step together, slash, this tree’s not shaped right — apologize, slash

45 degrees, damn dull, escape to sharpen the knife… spit and walk away
