True Companion Songtext
von Marc Cohn

Baby, I′ve been searching like everybody else
Can't say nothing different about myself
Sometimes, I′m an angel and sometimes, I'm cruel
When it comes to love, I'm just another fool

Yes, I′ll climb a mountain
I′m gonna swim the sea
There ain't no act of God, girl
Could keep you safe from me

My arms are reaching out
Out across this canyon
I′m asking you to be my true companion
True companion, true companion

So, don't you dare and try to walk away
I′ve got my heart set on our wedding day
I've got this vision of you girl in white
Made my decision that it′s you alright


When I take your hand
I'll watch my heart set sail
I'll take my trembling fingers
And I′ll lift up your veil

Then, I′ll take you home and with wild abandon
Make love to you just like a true companion
You are my true companion
I got a true companion, oh, true companion

When the years have done irreparable harm
I can see us walking slowly arm in arm
Just like that couple on the corner do
Girl, I will always be in love with you

When I look in your eyes
I'll still see that spark
Until the shadows fall
Until the room grows dark

Then, when I leave this Earth
I′ll be with the angels standin'
I′ll be out there waitin' for my true companion
Just for my true companion
True companion, true companion
