hangin' on a limb

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. 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.
