Bird on the Wire (Leonard Cohen)

Like a bird on the wire,
Like a drunk in a midnight choir,
I've tried in my way to be free.

Like worm on a hook,
Like a knight from some old-fashioned book,
I've saved all my ribbons for thee.

And if I had been unkind,
I hope that you can just let it go by,
And if I had been untrue,
I hope that you know it was never to you.

Like a baby still born,
Like beast with his horn,
I've torn everyone who reached out for me.

So I swear by this song
And by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee.

And if I had been unkind,
I hope that you can just let it go by,
And if I had been untrue,
I hope that you know it was never to you.

Like a bird on a wire,
Like a drunk in a midnight choir,
I've tried in my way to be free.
