Lyrics for Dance Me to the End of Love - Live in Toronto, 1993

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, be my homeward dove And dance me to the end of love Yeah, dance me to the end of love 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 And 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, both of us above And dance me to the end of love Yeah, 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 And 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 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
