True Companion - Marc Cohn

Oh have you seen my dear companion For he was all this world to me I hear he's gone to some far country And that he cares no more for me I wish I were a swallow flying I'd fly To a high and lonesome place I'd join the wild birds in their crying Thinking of you and your sweet face Oh have you seen my dear companion For he was all this world to me But now the stars have turned against me and he cares no more for me Oh when the dark is on the mountain And all the world has gone to sleep I will go down to cold dark waters And there I'll lay me down and weep Oh have you seen my dear companion Oh have you seen my dear companion Oh have you seen my dear companion Oh have you seen my dear companion For he was all this world to me

You with the sad eyes Don't be discouraged, oh, I realise It's hard to take courage In a world full of people You can lose sight of it all The darkness inside you Can make you feel so small But I see your true colours shining through I see your true colours And that's why I love you So don't be afraid To let them show your true colours True colours, they're beautiful Show me your smile then Don't be unhappy Can't remember when I last saw you laughing If this world makes you crazy And you've taken all you can bear Just call me up 'Cause you know I'll be there And I see your true colours shining through I see your true colours And that's why I love you So don't be afraid To let them show your true colours True colours are beautiful
