RIP - Leonard Cohen (1934/09/21 - 2016/11/10)

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

"Waiting For The Miracle"

Baby, I've been waiting, 

I've been waiting night and day. 

I didn't see the time, 

I waited half my life away. 

There were lots of invitations 

and I know you sent me some, 

but I was waiting 

for the miracle, for the miracle to come. 

I know you really loved me. 

but, you see, my hands were tied. 

I know it must have hurt you, 

it must have hurt your pride 

to have to stand beneath my window 

with your bugle and your drum, 

and me I'm up there waiting 

for the miracle, for the miracle to come. 

Ah I don't believe you'd like it, 

You wouldn't like it here. 

There ain't no entertainment 

and the judgements are severe. 

The Maestro says it's Mozart 

but it sounds like bubble gum 

when you're waiting 

for the miracle, for the miracle to come. 

Waiting for the miracle 

There's nothing left to do. 

I haven't been this happy 

since the end of World War II. 

Nothing left to do 

when you know that you've been taken. 

Nothing left to do 

when you're begging for a crumb 

Nothing left to do 

when you've got to go on waiting 

waiting for the miracle to come. 

I dreamed about you, baby. 

It was just the other night. 

Most of you was naked 

Ah but some of you was light. 

The sands of time were falling 

from your fingers and your thumb, 

and you were waiting 

for the miracle, for the miracle to come 

Ah baby, let's get married, 

we've been alone too long. 

Let's be alone together. 

Let's see if we're that strong. 

Yeah let's do something crazy, 

something absolutely wrong 

while we're waiting 

for the miracle, for the miracle to come. 

Nothing left to do ... 

When you've fallen on the highway 

and you're lying in the rain, 

and they ask you how you're doing 

of course you'll say you can't complain -- 

If you're squeezed for information, 

that's when you've got to play it dumb: 

You just say you're out there waiting 

for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
