Heart With No Companion Lyrics - Cohen Leonard

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 ...
