Karaoké Bird on the Wire Leonard Cohen

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
