Elegy movie - Dance Me To The End Of Love lyrics

rate me

Words and music by Leonard Cohen<br>

<br>

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin<br>

Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in<br>

Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove<br>

<br>

Dance me to the end of love<br>

Dance me to the end of love<br>

<br>

Let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone<br>

Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon<br>

Show me slowly what I only know the limits of<br>

<br>

Dance me to the end of love<br>

Dance me to the end of love<br>

<br>

Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on<br>

Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long<br>

We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above<br>

<br>

Dance me to the end of love<br>

Dance me to the end of love<br>

<br>

Dance me to the children who are asking to be born<br>

Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn<br>

Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn<br>

<br>

Dance me to the end of love<br>

Dance me to the end of love<br>

<br>

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin<br>

Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in<br>

Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove<br>

<br>

Dance me to the end of love<br>

Dance me to the end of love<br>

Dance me to the end of love<br>

<br>
