Leonard Cohen - Thanks for the Dance lyrics

[Leonard Cohen - Thanks for the Dance lyrics]

Thanks for the dance i'm sorry you're tired
The evening has hardly begun

Thanks for the dance try to look inspired
One-two-three, one-two-three, one

There is a rose in your hair
Your shoulders are bare
You've been wearing this costume forever
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 hopeless as me
And as decent we're joined in the spirit
Joined at the hip joined in the panic
Wondering if we've come to some sort
Of agreement

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
