Song title Bird On The Wire
Artist Leonard Cohen
leonard cohen - bird on the wire
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 choirhave tried in my way to be free
