Leonhard Cohen - Bird on a 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.

For 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 choir,

I have tried in my way to be free.
