Jennifer Warnes - Bird On The Wire Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • By 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 a fish on a hook,
  • Like a knight from an old fashioned book
  • I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
  • If I have been unkind,
  • I hope that you could just let it go by.
  • And if I have been untrue
  • I hope you know it was never to you. no, no
  • 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
  • By all I have done wrong
  • Ill make it all up to you. yes I will
  • I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch,
  • H called out to me, dont ask for so much.
  • And a young man leaning on his darkened door,
  • He cried out to me, hey, why not ask for more?
  • Like a bird on the wire,
  • Like a drunk in a midnight choir
  • I have tried in my way to be free.
