Lyrics

&Lt;i>[originally by leonard cohen]</i>

Like a bird on a wire, like a drunk at a midnight choir, I have tried in my way to be free. like a fish on a hook, like a knight from some old fashioned book, I have saved all my ribbons for thee. if I have been unkind, I hope that 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 its horn, I have torn everyone who's reached out to 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 shouldn't ask for so much." and a pretty woman kneeling in her darkened door, screamed out to me, "why not ask for more?" like a bird on a wire, like a drunk at some midnight choir, I have tried in my way to be free
