Dance Me to the End of Love
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
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…
Thank you Charliedog.
May I add a few fragment from another one:
The birds they sang
At the break of day
Start again
I heard them say
Don’t dwell on what
Has passed away
Or what is yet to be
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in
You can add up the parts
But you won’t have the sum
You can strike up the march
There is no drum
Every heart
To love will come
But like a refugee
Dear Blueraincoat,
It was because of you I found Leonard Cohen again and listen to his lyrics in a different way then I did many years ago. Thank you for mentioning him here in AYP. Famous blue raincoat is one of my favorites of Leonard.
A brilliant songwriter. Thank you both.
