Leonard Cohen
"True Love Leaves No Traces" lyrics

True Love Leaves No Traces

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
Without a 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

True love leaves no traces
If you and I are one
It's lost in our embraces
