Leonard Cohen – Dance Me to the End of Love Lyrics 12 years ago
I think it's all of the above. It's about a lifelong dance partner. A young couple learning about life. Learning, laughing, living, loving, growing old together. A dance partner in the dance of life, until the music stops.

The song is chronological: courtship, marriage, children, then aging and death.

The last lines are:

"Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in"
The panic is the process and fear of dying. I'm afraid, so hold my hand and dance me until I'm gathered safely in.

"Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove"

The naked hand is the flesh. The glove is a metaphor for the touch of your memory after you are gone. You may be gone, but your love remains. Your memory is there to dance me in my heart. Dance me to the end of love.

Eagles – Take It Easy Lyrics 12 years ago
Well, having hitchhiked through Winslow Arizona several times back in the 70s, I can say for sure that the line "such a fine sight to see" is sarcasm.
