Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dance with 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, be my homeward dove
And dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
[Verse 2]
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
And dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
[Verse 3]
Dance me to the wedding
Dance me on and 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
[Verse 4]
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 the end of love
[Verse 5]
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
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
