The Neville Brothers - Bird on a Wire



(song from Leonhard Cohen)

Like a bird on the wire,
like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my own way to be free.
 
Like a fish on a hook, 
like a knight from some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
 

If I have been untrue 
I hope that you can just let it,
let it go by.
 
If I have been untrue 
 I hope you know 
it was never to you.
 
Like a bird: free
 there's a bird: free

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.
 
Don't cry no more don't cry
it's completed, oh it's finished
it's been faithfull
 
Like a bird - free
there's a bird - free
 
Like a bird - free
there's a bird - free
 
[Instrumental] 
 
Like a bird - free
there's a bird - free
 
Like a bird - free
there's a bird - free

Like a bird - free
on the wire - free
 
like a drunk - free
in a midnight choir - free

don't cry - free 
don't cry - free

Like a bird - free
 
 free
