Leonard Cohen Lyrics for Song: Heart With No Companion
 Lyrics for Album: Live
 
 
 
 16901>Now I greet you from the other side
 Of sorrow and despair
 With a love so vast and so 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
 Though 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
 For the soul without a king
 For the prima ballerina
 Who cannot dance to anything
 
 Now I greet you from the other side
 Of sorrow and despair
 Ah with a love so vast and so 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
 
 16901>
