Bird on the Wire (Live in London)

Bird On The Wire - Leonard Cohen (萊昂納德·科恩)

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 (fish) 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
