Cohen, Leonard - True Love Leaves No Traces Lyrics






As the mist leaves no scar
On the dark green hill
So my body leaves no scar
On you and never will
Through windows in the dark
The children come, the children go
Like arrows with no targets
Like shackles made of snow

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

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

    As the mist leaves no scar
    On the dark green hill
    So my body leaves no scar
    On you and never will
    Through windows in the dark
    The children come, the children go
    Like arrows with no targets
    Like shackles made of snow
    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
    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

    my favourite album along with from a room and new skin, and i think the querelle against Phil Spectre is puerile (childish in english....but isn't that accurate)

    R.... D....

    Completement d'accord! Love Phil S's noisy arrangements. LC gave me a copy right after it came out. A snowy winter au Parc Lafontaine.... RIP.

  4. A.... ....

    I must be in the minority... I love this album as much his others...

  5. R.... -....

    Phil Spectre screwed to pooch and ruined (almost) a significant LC masterpiece.

  6. P.... B....

    Can tell this lp was produced by Phil Spectre. I love his songs, but don't care for this,style for his songs

  7. M.... D....

    I love this poem but I don't care a lot for it in the form of a song.
