Heart With No Companion Lyrics by Leonard Cohen

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...
