Leonard Cohen Lyrics

Album: Death Of A Ladies' Man

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
