Cohen, Leonard - 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 ...

Cohen, Leonard Heart With No Companion Comments
  1. P.... D....

    (Most Evoquing and Beautiful Words from The Poet to Be Acompany With)

    Now I greet you from the other side of sorrow and despair, with a love so vast
    And so 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,
    Though 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, for the soul without a king, for the prima
    Ballerina who cannot dance to anything.

    "...a love so vast and shattered-It will reach you everywhere " because it is coming from the 'other side' that is beyond any resistance, fear and desire, love that is all pervading
