Though the river flows / 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 . . . and start again And though their love was hangin' on a limb She taught him how to dance. (Solo) x2 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. (solo) x2 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.
