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 target
like shackles made of snow

True love leaves no traces
if you and I are one
it's lost in our embraces
like stars agains the sun

As a falling leaf may rest
a moment in the air
so your head upon my breast
so my hand upon your hair

And many nights endure
without a moon or star
so will we 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

Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen não é um mero letrista, é um poeta a sério. Gosto muito.

É verdade, os seus poemas vivem para lá da música...
