Bird on the Wire [Leonard Cohen Cover] lyrics

Like a bird on a wire

Like a drunk in a midnight choir

I have tried in my way

To be free

Like a fish on a hook

Like a knight in some old-fashioned book

I have saved all my ribbons

Just for thee

And if I have been unkind

I hope you just let it go by

And if I have been untrue

I hope you know it was never meant to you

Like a baby, stillborn

Like a beast with his horn

I have torn everyone

Who reached out for me

I saw a man leaning on a wooden crutch

He called out to me, "Why do you ask for so much?"

I saw a woman, she was standing in the door

She said, "Why not, why not ask for more?"

But I swear by this song

By all that I have done wrong

I will make it, I will make it

All up to thee

Like a bird on a wire

Like a drunk in a midnight choir

I have tried in my way

To be free
