True Companion Lyrics - Marc Cohn - 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
