Dance Me To The End Of Love
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
Leonard Cohen
‘Dance, pretty Mama, dance!’
Eh, banangi! That Benny and Mimi? Man! They can dance until their shoes are worn through.
What kind of music makes you dance until dawn? Share it with us here and at the end of the week, I’ll get our own resident music maestro to pick a name at random. The winner will get a signed, matted giclée print of this painting – and I’ll donate the cost of the print to Dr. Maithri’s Swaziland Project in your name. Howzat?
