of a poetic lyric
he did convey
as he sang the song
in a perennial way
"dance me to the end of love"
long our hearts shall beat together
"dance me to the end of love"
we'll stay ever close in tether
Leonard Cohen wrote
an undying
refrain
which you can listen to
again and
again
the words will echo
in a romantic
vein
of the dance his voice
did lastingly
explain
the melody of eternal
love
speaking so lovingly
of forever
love

Leonard Cohen
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
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
Oh 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
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, we're both of us above
Dance me to the end of love
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
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
