Does anyone have the lyrics to the song "True Companion" by Marc Cohn also
another by him called, "Perfect Love." Thanks in advance.

Marc Cohn - True companion

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 all right.
And 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 that couple on the corner do.
'Cause girl I will always be in love with you.
And 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 waiting for my true companion,
True companion,
True companion.

peace, Gunnar

Marc Cohn - Pefect love

Down by the boathouse at Shaker Lake
When there wasn't nothing but love to make,
They were two young lovers wishing on the stars above
Well, they carved their initials in an old birch tree
with a heart and an arrow and a 'sixty-three
You had to be blind not to see...
It was a perfect love
It was a perfect love
Ooh, yeah, yeah

Well, they worked one summer together at the '64 World's Fair.
They met Robert Kennedy there
Well, that was... right before the fall
And they saved up a little bit of money for his career,
And they talked about the future underneath the giant sphere.
And all around them, the little voices were singing
it's a small world after all.
Yes it is, small world after all.
And it was... perfect love
It was a perfect love. Ooh, yeah, yeah.
(Under the moon and stars above it was a perfect love)

Now they were dizzy from dancing on Rockaway Beach.
They came to Rockaway
Yeah, and everything they dreamed of was still within reach
dreaming... Dreaming as the years roll by,
like they always do.Well, they had their share of hard times, too.
But whatever they were, they never let it get them down.
Now, they just go walking down a country lane;
See the leaves changing in the misty rain.
And only one thing remains the same, woah. Ooh, yeah, yeah
Just a perfect love Ooh, yeah, yeah.
(Under the moon and stars above it was a perfect love)

peace, Gunnar
