Leonard Cohen - Bird on the Wire 1979

Like a bird on the wire,

Like a drunk in some old midnight choir

I have tried in my way to be free.

Like a worm on a hook,

Like a monk bending over the book

It was the shape, the shape of our love twisted me

If I, if I have been unkind,

I hope that you can just let it all go right on by

If I, if I have been untrue

It's just that I thought a lover had to be some kind of liar too

(Instrumental)

If I, if I have been unkind,

I hope that you can just let it all go right on by

If I, if I have been untrue

I hope that you know by now it was never to you

Like a little baby stillborn

Like a beast with his horn

I have torn everyone who reached out for me

But I swear, I swear by this song

I swear by all that I have done wrong

I will make it all up to thee

I saw a beggar he was 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 a little bit more?"

Oh like a bird on the wire,

like a drunk in some old midnight choir

I have tried in my way to be free

Wow...Lenard Cohen, young! I would not recognize him if my life depended on it. This version is slightly different in emotion and lyrics, both. Goodnight. (Lenard definitely has matured into greater depth.)
