This is a lovely song and the restarts/tag are really really easy to feel and necessary. 
Please don’t discard because of restarts and tags without trying it first!
In order to keep the dance in phase, 2 ‘easy-to-notice’ restarts are required.
Restart no 1 – during wall 2, dance up to count 40 (section 5) then restart the dance again facing 12 o’clock
Restart no 2 – during wall 6, which starts facing 12 o’clock, dance up to count 28 (section 4) 
then restart the dance again with an ‘&’ beat to put weight onto right – facing 3 o’clock
During wall 5 – which starts 6 o’clock, do first 8 counts to 12 o’clock, then sway slowly RLRL, hold, 
dragging R to L, start dance again on the word ‘morning’
Every effort has been made to ensure these cue Sheets are accurate, Should you find any errors,
Please let me know via e-mail thank you...... Robert
