Dance me to your beauty With a burning violin Dance me through the panic Till 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 Let me see your beauty When the witnesses are gone Let me see 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 And dance me on and on Dance me very tenderly And dance me very long With both of us beneath our love With both of us apart Dance me to the end of love Dance me to the end of love Dance me to the children now 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 thorn 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
