    Dance me to your beauty like 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
    Please dance me to the end of love
    Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
    Oh let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
    Oh 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
    La la, la la la, la la, la la la, la la, la la la
    Oh dance me to the wedding now, oh, dance me on and on
    And dance me very tenderly and 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
    La la, la la la, la la, la la la, la la, la la la
