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 the hook
like a knight from some old-fashiond book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee

and if I have been unkind
I hope that you will just let it go by
and if I have been untrue
I hope you know it was never to you

like a babe 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 the pretty woman leaning in her darkened door
she cried to me "hey, why not ask for more?"

like a bird on the wire
like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free


Mirror lyrics:

I have tried in my way to be free
like a drunk in a midnight choir
like a bird on the wire

she cried to me "hey, why not ask for more?"
and the pretty woman leaning in her darkened door
he said to me "you must not ask for so much"
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch

I will make it all up to thee
and by all that I have done wrong
but I swear by this song
I have torn everyone who reached out for me
like a beast with his horn
like a babe stillborn

I hope you know it was never to you
and if I have been untrue
I hope that you will just let it go by
and if I have been unkind

I have saved all my ribbons for thee
like a knight from some old-fashiond book
like a worm on the hook
I have tried in my way to be free
like a drunk in a midnight choir
like a bird on the wire
