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 

Maybe I'm still hurting 
I can't turn the other cheek 
But you know that I still love you 
It's just that I can't speak 
I looked for you in everyone 
And they called me on that too 
I lived alone but I was only 
Coming back to you 

Ah they're shutting down the factory now 
Just when all the bills are due 
And the fields they're under lock and key 
Tho' the rain and the sun come through 
And springtime starts but then it stops 
In the name of something new 
And all the senses rise against this 
Coming back to you 

And they're handing down my sentence now 
And I know what I must do 
Another mile of silence while I'm 
Coming back to you 

There are many in your life 
And many still to be 
Since you are a shining light 
There's many that you'll see 
But I have to deal with envy 
When you choose the precious few 
Who've left their pride on the other side of 
Coming back to you 

Even in your arms I know 
I'll never get it right 
Even when you bend to give me 
Comfort in the night 
I've got to have your word on this 
Or none of it is true 
And all I've said was just instead of 
Coming back to you 

How many times did you call me 
And I knew it was late 
I left everybody 
But I never went straight 
I don't claim to be guilty 
But I do understand 
There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand 
There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand 

Now my heart's like a blister 
From doing what I do 
If the moon has a sister 
It's got to be you 
I'm going to miss you forever 
Tho' it's not what I planned 
There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand 
There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand 

Now the deal has been dirty 
Since dirty began 
I'm not asking for mercy 
Not from the man 
You just don't ask for mercy 
While you're still on the stand 
There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand 
There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand 

I don't claim to be guilty 
Guilty's too grand 
There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand 
There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand 

That's all I can say, baby 
That's all I can say 
It wasn't for nothing 
That they put me away 
I fell with my angel 
Down the chain of command 
There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand 
There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand 
There's a Law, there's an Arm, there's a Hand 

I went down to the place 
Where I knew she lay waiting 
Under the marble and the snow 
I said, Mother I'm frightened 
The thunder and the lightning 
I'll never come through this alone 
She said, I'll be with you 
My shawl wrapped around you 
My hand on your head when you go 
And the night came on 
It was very calm 
I wanted the night to go on and on 
But she said, Go back to the World 

We were fighting in Egypt 
When they signed this agreement 
That nobody else had to die 
There was this terrible sound 
And my father went down 
With a terrible wound in his side 
He said, Try to go on 
Take my books, take my gun 
Remember, my son, how they lied 
And the night comes on 
It's very calm 
I'd like to pretend that my father was wrong 
But you don't want to lie, not to the young 

We were locked in this kitchen 
I took to religion 
And I wondered how long she would stay 
I needed so much 
To have nothing to touch 
I've always been greedy that way 
But my son and my daughter 
Climbed out of the water 
Crying, Papa, you promised to play 
And they lead me away 
To the great surprise 
It's Papa, don't peek, Papa, cover your eyes 
And they hide, they hide in the World 

Now I look for her always 
I'm lost in this calling 
I'm tied to the threads of some prayer 
Saying, When will she summon me 
When will she come to me 
What must I do to prepare 
When she bends to my longing 
Like a willow, like a fountain 
She stands in the luminous air 
And the night comes on 
And it's very calm 
I lie in her arms and says, When I'm gone 
I'll be yours, yours for a song 

Now the crickets are singing 
The vesper bells ringing 
The cat's curled asleep in his chair 
I'll go down to Bill's Bar 
I can make it that far 
And I'll see if my friends are still there 
Yes, and here's to the few 
Who forgive what you do 
And the fewer who don't even care 
And the night comes on 
It's very calm 
I want to cross over, I want to go home 
But she says, Go back, go back to the World 

Now I've heard there was a secret chord 
That David played, and it pleased the Lord 
But you don't really care for music, do you? 
It goes like this 
The fourth, the fifth 
The minor fall, the major lift 
The baffled king composing Hallelujah 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 

Your faith was strong but you needed proof 
You saw her bathing on the roof 
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you 
She tied you 
To a kitchen chair 
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair 
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 

You say I took the name in vain 
I don't even know the name 
But if I did, well really, what's it to you? 
There's a blaze of light 
In every word 
It doesn't matter which you heard 
The holy or the broken Hallelujah 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 

I did my best, it wasn't much 
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch 
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you 
And even though 
It all went wrong 
I'll stand before the Lord of Song 
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
   ...
   

Now the Captain called me to his bed 
He fumbled for my hand 
"Take these silver bars," he said 
"I'm giving you command." 
"Command of what, there's no one here 
There's only you and me -- 
All the rest are dead or in retreat 
Or with the enemy." 

"Complain, complain, that's all you've done 
Ever since we lost 
If it's not the Crucifixion 
Then it's the Holocaust." 
"May Christ have mercy on your soul 
For making such a joke 
Amid these hearts that burn like coal 
And the flesh that rose like smoke." 

"I know that you have suffered, lad, 
But suffer this awhile: 
Whatever makes a soldier sad 
Will make a killer smile." 
"I'm leaving, Captain, I must go 
There's blood upon your hand 
But tell me, Captain, if you know 
Of a decent place to stand." 

"There is no decent place to stand 
In a massacre; 
But if a woman take your hand 
Go and stand with her." 
"I left a wife in Tennessee 
And a baby in Saigon -- 
I risked my life, but not to hear 
Some country-western song." 

"Ah but if you cannot raise your love 
To a very high degree, 
Then you're just the man I've been thinking of -- 
So come and stand with me." 
"Your standing days are done," I cried, 
"You'll rally me no more. 
I don't even know what side 
We fought on, or what for." 

"I'm on the side that's always lost 
Against the side of Heaven 
I'm on the side of Snake-eyes tossed 
Against the side of Seven. 
And I've read the Bill of Human Rights 
And some of it was true 
But there wasn't any burden left 
So I'm laying it on you." 

Now the Captain he was dying 
But the Captain wasn't hurt 
The silver bars were in my hand 
I pinned them to my shirt. 

Your father's gone a-hunting 
He's deep in the forest so wild 
And he cannot take his wife with him 
He cannot take his child 

Your father's gone a-hunting 
In the quicksand and the clay 
And a woman cannot follow him 
Although she knows the way 

Your father's gone a-hunting 
Through the silver and the glass 
Where only greed can enter 
But spirit, spirit cannot pass 

Your father's gone a-hunting 
For the beast we'll never cannot bind 
And he leaves a baby sleeping 
And his blessings all behind 

Your father's gone a-hunting 
And he's lost his lucky charm 
And he's lost the guardian heart 
That keeps the hunter from the harm 

Your father's gone a-hunting 
He asked me to say goodbye 
And he warned me not to stop him 
I wouldn't, I wouldn't even try 

I greet you from the other side 
Of sorrow and despair 
With a love so vast and shattered 
It will reach you everywhere 

And I sing this for the captain 
Whose ship has not been built 
For the mother in confusion 
Her cradle still unfilled 

For the heart with no companion 
For the soul without a king 
For the prima ballerina 
Who cannot dance to anything 

Through the days of shame that are coming 
Through the nights of wild distress 
Tho' your promise count for nothing 
You must keep it nonetheless 

You must keep it for the captain 
Whose ship has not been built 
For the mother in confusion 
Her cradle still unfilled 

For the heart with no companion ... 

I greet you from the other side ... 

If it be your will 
That I speak no more 
And my voice be still 
As it was before 
I will speak no more 
I shall abide until 
I am spoken for 
If it be your will 

If it be your will 
That a voice be true 
From this broken hill 
I will sing to you 
From this broken hill 
All your praises they shall ring 
If it be your will 
To let me sing 
From this broken hill 
All your praises they shall ring 
If it be your will 
To let me sing 

If it be your will 
If there is a choice 
Let the rivers fill 
Let the hills rejoice 
Let your mercy spill 
On all these burning hearts in hell 
If it be your will 
To make us well 

And draw us near 
And bind us tight 
All your children here 
In their rags of light 
In our rags of light 
All dressed to kill 
And end this night 
If it be your will 

If it be your will.
