Leonard Cohen Thanks For The Dance Lyrics

Thanks for the dance
It was hell, it was swell, it was fun
Thanks for all the dances
One two three, one two three one

There is a rose in your hair
Your shoulders are bare
It's a costume
But I'm a believer
So turn up the music
Pour out the wine
Stop at the surface
The surface is fine
We don't need to go any deeper

Thanks for the dance
I hear that we're married
One two three, one two three one
Thanks for the dance
And the baby you carried
It was almost a daughter or a son

And there's nothing to do
But to wonder if you
Are as tired as I am
Of leaving
We're joined in the spirit Joined at the hip
Joined in the panic
Wondering if
We've come to some sort
Of agreement

Thanks for the dance
It was hell, it was swell, it was fun
Thanks for all the dances
One two three, one two three one

It was fine, it was fast
We were first, we were last
In line at the
Temple of Pleasure
But the green was so green
And the blue was so blue
I was so I
And you were so you
The crisis was light
As a feather

Thanks for the dance
It was hell, it was swell, it was fun
Thanks for all the
dances
One two three, one two three one
