Where The River Meets The Sea
Where The River Meets TheSea - Philippart/King/Evans/Gibbard

From the musical 'Dylan’, a song about Caitlin and Dylan



They danced, they danced, they danced together

Carefree. Careless, they danced together

Holding each other, two free spirits let loose

Not sure what for or how it would last

Dancing forever

Dancing where the river meets the sea



His head in her lap, a bright young spark

From her flame red hair kindled feelings.

Motherly feelings of that first night of flesh

In the room of a friend

A gentle, unspectacular sleep

They fought so hard to keep



A blue cotton dress, barefoot, hopeful

Corduroy trousers, a shirt, no tie

Hand in hand they stood rocking on their feet

To pledge on fleeting soil

That they both needed each other

Whatever the weather



She stayed by his bed for fifteen minutes

Fighting and shouting just like at home

About life and love and love and life

A calm before the storm

A lasting calm they never knew

A fading flower that never grew
