Bird On The Wire

In the style of

Leonard Cohen

Lyrics

like a bird on the wire
like a drunk in a

midnight choir

i have tried
in my way

to be free

like the 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
will just let it go by

if i, if i have been untrue

i hope you know

it was never to you

oh like a baby still born
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

oh, like a bird on the wire
like a drunk in a

midnight choir

i have tried
in my way

to be free
