Leonard Cohen — Dance Me to the End of Love

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove Dance me to the end of love Dance me to the end of love [Verse 2] Oh, let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon Show me slowly what I only know the limits of Oh, dance me to the end of love Dance me to the end of love [Verse 3] Dance me to the wedding now, oh, dance me on and on Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above Dance me to the end of love Dance me to the end of love [Verse 4] Dance me to the children who are asking to be born Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn Dance me to the end of love [Instrumental] [Verse 5] Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in Touch me with your naked hand, touch me with your glove Dance me to the end of love Dance me to the end of love Dance me to the end of love
