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
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
If you and I are one
It's lost in our embraces
Like stars against the sun
A moment on the air
So your head upon my breast
So my hand upon your hair
Without a moon or star
So we will endure
When one is gone and far
If you and I are one
It's lost in our embraces
Like stars against the sun

Interesting— too bad P Spector did it all himself—L Cohen was not happy at the time with this album. I love Memories and Iodine is catchy. LC did perform Memories at a number of concerts and I would have given anything to see him sing that live—or any of his songs live fore that matter. In love with a dad singer/songwriter/poet/author — much safer that way, but he’s my favorite. A true intellectual with a hunger for living a life of truth. Wow—he’s only THE best.
