Song information
A song written by Leonard Cohen. I first heard it on the sublime first Ron Sexsmith album in 1995. Here is a waltzy version, with lots of accordion and acoustic stuff found around the room... Hope you'll like it. You can dance, it's a waltz !

Lyrics
Now I greet you from the other side
Of sorrow and despair
With a love so vast and shattered
It will reach you everywhere

And I sing this for the captain
Whose ship has not been built
For the mother in confusion
Her cradle still unfilled

For the heart with no companion
For the soul without a king
For the prima ballerina
Who cannot dance to anything

Through the days of shame that are coming
Through the nights of wild distress
Though your promise count for nothing
You must keep it nonetheless

You must keep it for the captain
Whose ship has not been built
For the mother in confusion
Her cradle still unfilled

For the heart with no companion
For the soul without a king
For the prima ballerina
Who cannot dance to anything

And I greet you from the other side
Of sorrow and despair
With a love so vast and shattered
It will reach you everywhere

That's what I heard first, Leonard Cohen with a bit of Tom Waits (dancing Matilda), and then of course it's all my friend Dyl. Polishing vocals and style every day
