Cohen Leonard Heart With No Companion Lyrics

Heart With No Companion Lyrics

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 ...
