            Dance Me to the End of Love by L. 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 
            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
