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