Leonard Cohen
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
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
Dance me to the wedding now, 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
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
Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
Touch me with your naked hand or 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
Comments : The version I have been listening to - from the Essential Cohen collection – is available on the itunes store. Located this link if you want to see the video
Deceptively a simple love song is actually far more… research it and find out..
( Ed - I found the answer on wikipedia, and it's really worth reading - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dance_Me_to_the_End_of_Love )
The standout for me in this standout song is “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..”
Gift yourself some Cohen – you won’t regret it, or maybe you will J. - S.
