Bird On A Wire (Cohen)
Like a bird on the wire Like a drunk in a midnight choir 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 If i, if I have been untrue
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 I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch He said to me, you
must not ask for so much 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 wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free
