bird on the wire (live in dublin) - leonard cohen lyrics
like a bird on a wire
like a drunk in some old midnight choir
i have tried in my way to be free
like a worm on the hook
like a knight bent down in some old-fashioned book
it was the shape of our love that twisted me
if i have been unkind
i hope that you can find a way to let it all go by
and if i have been untrue
it’s just that i thought a lover
has to be some kind of liar too
like a little babe stillborn
like a beast with his h-rn
i have torn everyone who reached out for me
but i swear by this song
i swear by all that i have done wrong
i will make it all up to thee
i saw this beggar, he was leaning on his wooden crutch
he says to me: “come on leonard, you just can’t ask for all that much”
and a pretty woman, she was standing in her darkened door
she says to me: “hey, why not ask for just a little bit more?”
like a bird on the wire
like a drunk in some old midnight choir
i have tried in my way to be free
