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, 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.
"Bird On The Wire" - Leonard Cohen
