intoxicating

dance 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 and be my homeward dove
........
show me slowly what i only know the limits of
........
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 curtains that our kisses have outworn
raise a tent of shelter now though every thread is torn
........
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

Great song! I think that I will listen to that today, actually on my way to work . . . it's rainy, and life's confusing. Shouldn't go to work on a day like this. Should be home drinking tea. Sigh . . .
