True Love Leaves No Traces
LEONARD COHEN
As the mist leaves no scar
On the dark
green hill
So my body
leaves no scar
On you and
never will
True love leaves
no traces
If you and
I are one
It's lost in
our embraces
Like stars
against the sun
As a falling
leaf may rest
A moment on
the air
So your head
upon my breast
So my hand
upon your hair
When wind and hawk encounter
What remains to keep?
So you and I encounter
Then turn, then fall to sleep.
And many nights
endure
Without a moon
or star
So we will
endure
When one is
gone and far
True love leaves
no traces
If you and
I are one
It's lost in
our embraces
Like stars
against the sun
