rate me

Song by Madeleine Peyroux<br /><br>

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>
