Bird On A Wire (leonard Cohen) Lyrics - Singles - K. D. Lang

Like a bird on a 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, you can just let it go by 

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'll 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 out to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"

If I, if I have been unkind 

I hope, you can just let it go by 

If I have been untrue 

It was never to you 

Like a bird on a wire 

Like a drunk in a midnight choir 

I have tried in my way to be free
