True Companion
by 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
And 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 a 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
True companion

When the years have done
Irreparable harm
I can see us walking
Slowly arm in arm

Just like the couple
On the corner do
Cause, 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 standing
I'll be out there waiting
For my true companion
Just for my true companion
True companion
True companion
