Piper to the End   (Mark Knopfler) - STING 22307   (Thorsten Geppert)

  

  (Opener): SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE

When I leave this world behind me - to another I will go
And if there are no pipes in heaven - I'll be going down below

CIRCLE LEFT

If friends in time be severed - someday we will (meet again)

ALLEMANDE and PROMENADE

I'll return to leave you never - be a piper to the end

 

 

  (Figures):

HEADS SQUARE THRU in the middle and you roll it to FOUR

DO SA DO with that Corner one - SWING THRU here - BOYS will TRADE

RUN RIGHT - BEND THE LINE - FORWARD UP AND DOWN

You SQUARE THRU and roll it THREE QUARTERS

SWING that Girl and you all PROMENADE

I'll return to leave you never - be a piper to the end

 

 

  (Middle Break): SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE

This has been a day to die for - now the day is almost done
Up above, a quiet seabird - turns to face the setting sun

CIRCLE LEFT

Now the evening dove is calling - and all the hills are burning red

ALLEMANDE and PROMENADE

And before the night comes falling - clouds are lined with golden thread

 

 

  (Closer): SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE

This has been a day to die on - now the day is almost done
Here the pipes will lay beside me - silent with the battle drum

ALLEMANDE and WEAVE

If friends in time be severed - someday here we will meet again

I'll return to leave you never - be a piper to the end

 

 

  (Tag): Be a piper to the end

 

 

 (Original Lyrics)

 

When I leave this world behind me - To another I will go
And if there are no pipes in heaven - I'll be going down below

If friends in time be severed - Someday we will meet again
I'll return to leave you never - Be a piper to the end

 

This has been a day to die for - Now the day is almost done
Up above, a quiet seabird - Turns to face the setting sun

Now the evening dove is calling - And all the hills are burning red
And before the night comes falling - Clouds are lined with golden thread

 

We watched the fires together - Shared our quarters for a while
Walked the dusty roads together - Came so many miles

 

This has been a day to die on - Now the day is almost done
Here the pipes will lay beside me - Silent with the battle drum

If friends in time be severed - Someday here we will meet again
I'll return to leave you never - Be a piper to the end
