Bird On The Wire

[ti:Bird On The Wire] [ar:Leonard Cohen] [al:The Essential Leonard Cohen] [by:季风网-【http://www.ip21.cn】] [offset:0] 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 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 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 have tried in my way to be free
