That is so beautiful what Emmylou said in the video…I hope her wish comes true one day.

That is a terrific video and note from LC. Emmylou Harris has a somewhat similar personality - unfailingly gracious and courteous. I am surprised they have never actually crossed paths but I do hope they sing together. To quote from a Townes Van Zandt song it would be "the bottom low, the treble clear"

Re: Emmylou Harris on LC: 'One day I hope that I will meet h
What song does this refer to ?
i have a feeling if Leonard saw this he would be moved to arrange a meeting if possible and - yes- Emmylou ' guesting' on his next album(or vice versa) is a wonderful thought.
Emmylou's version of 'Ballad of the absent mare ' is just about my favourite cover of a LC song

Leonard's work resonates

I used to think 'Ballad of a Runaway Horse' was the only LC song Emmylou Harris has covered. But there is at least one more song: 'The Stranger Song'cohenadmirer wrote:What song does this refer to ?

But I assume he is referring to 'Ballad of a Runaway Horse'.

The Pearl
Oh the dragons are going to fly tonight
They're circling low and inside tonight
It's another round in the losing fight
Out along the great divide tonight
We are aging soldiers in an ancient war
Seeking out some half remembered shore
We drink our fill and still we thirst for more
Asking if there's no heaven what is this hunger for?
Our path is worn our feet are poorly shod
We lift up our prayer against the odds
And fear the silence is the voice of God
[Chorus]
And we cry Allelujah Allelujah
We cry Allelujah
[Verse 2]
Sorrow is constant and the joys are brief
The seasons come and bring no sweet relief
Time is a brutal but a careless thief
Who takes our lot but leaves behind the grief
It is the heart that kills us in the end
Just one more old broken bone that cannot mend
As it was now and ever shall be amen
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
So there'll be no guiding light for you and me
We are not sailors lost out on the sea
We were always headed toward eternity
Hoping for a glimpse of Gaililee

Awesome video accompanying Emmylou Harris singing Ballad of the Runaway Horse. As good as the singing is , the video might just be even better...

A 22 year old Emmylou Harris in 1970. She glides the highs effortlessly ...a la Joan Baez !
