Dance me to the end of love
Here's another one with lots of feel to it. I'd remember there was a third with lots of meaning to me.

Dance Me to the End of Love by Leonard Cohen

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

Leonard Cohen rules.  One more reason to be proud to be Canadian.

Rabite

Just a note: this smilie has nothing to do with anything, I just found it and goddamn if it isn't cute.

Hey Nersh, they finally called to say that my copy of Disintegration is here. Picking it up tomorrow...

And speaking of Cohen, "Waiting for the miracle" is another all time favorite. Anybody read his poems?

Heh.

Yeah, Cohen's got a load of songs. No matter if they're a bit old, they still rule.

Don't talk to me...I'm going away.

The weather here has been really hot and sticky, like a giant condom.

Go away and I'm coming with you! I'm more persistant than a telemarketer.

Then I'm going to the ends of the Earth.

How cliche of me.

Hmmm... How many trips around the ball can we make before we run out of money?
