Leonard Cohen who wrote Bird on a Wire, also wrote Love Leaves No Trace. I looked up the Bird... lyrics first, but they didn't really fit. I kept looking at Cohen's lyrics, and forgot that I was in the middle of a blog post, for half an hour. Then these words reminded me of the picture.
True Love Leaves No Trace - Leonard Cohen
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
