Bird on the wire
By
Leonard Cohen
Like a bird, on the wi~ire
Like a drunk, in a midnight choi~ir
I have tried, in my way, to be free
Like a worm, on a hook
Like a knight from some old fashioned book
I have saved, all my ribbons, for thee
If I, if I have been unkind
I hope that you can just let it go by~y~y
If I, if I have, been untrue~ue
I hope you know, it was never to you
Like a baby, stillborn
Like a beast with his horn
I have torn, everyone
Who reached out for, me
But I swear, by this song
And by all that, I have done wrong
I will make it all, up to thee~ee
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
He said to me, "You must not ask for so mu~uch"
And a pretty woman, leaning in her darkened door
She cried to me "Hey, why not ask for more?"
Oh like a bird, on the wi~ire
Like a drunk, in a midnight choi~ir
I have tried, in my way, to be free
