Bird on the Wire
Leonard Cohen
Like a bird on the wireLike a drunk in a midnight choirI have tried in my way to be freeLike a worm on a hookLike a knight from some old fashioned bookI have saved all my ribbons for thee
If I, if I have been unkindI hope that you can just let it go byIf I, if I have been untrueI hope you know it was never to you
Oh, like a baby, stillbornLike a beast with his hornI have torn everyone who reached out for meBut I swear by this songAnd by all that I have done wrongI will make it all up to thee
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutchHe said to me, “You must not ask for so much”And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened doorShe cried to me, “Hey, why not ask for more?”
Oh, like a bird on the wireLike a drunk in a midnight choirI have tried in my way to be free
