Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dance me to your beauty like a burning violin
Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch, be my homeward dove
And dance me to the end of love
Please dance me to the end of love
[Verse 2]
Ooh, let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Ooh, let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Ooh, show me slowly what I only know the limits of
And dance me to the end of love
Please dance me to the end of love
[Bridge]
La-la
La-la-la, la-la
La-la-la, la-la
La, la, la
[Verse 3]
Oh, dance me to the wedding now
Oh, dance me on and on
And dance me very tenderly
Ooh, dance me very long
We're both of us
Beneath our love and both of us above
And dance me to the end of love, ooh
Won't you dance me
To the end of love?
[Outro]
La-la
La-la-la, la-la, la
La-la-la, la-la
La, la, la
