D                      G9
Though the river flows gently to the sea
C6            G9      D
He was on the shore rooted like a tree
D                      G9
She was here and there riding in the waves
C6                  G9                 D
Through it all she heard his call and gave it
all she gave

 A                        G 
And though their love was hangin' on a limb
     D                      Em   F#m  
She taught him how to dance,
             G 
and start again
 A                        G 
And though their love was hangin' on a limb
     D                      Em   F#m    G   A 
She taught him how to dance.

And when the melody, through the window called
It echoed in the courtyard and whispered in
the halls
He played it through the night, she knew he
had to go
There was something about freedom he thought
he didn't know.

And though their love was hangin' on a limb
She taught him how to dance and start again
And though their love was hangin' on a limb
She taught him how to dance.

Though the river flowed, gently to the sea
He was on the shore, rooted like a tree
She was here and there, riding on the waves
Through it all she heard his call and gave it
all she gave.

And though their love was hangin' on a limb
She taught him how to dance.
