Lyrics:
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 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 go right on by
If I, if I have been untrue
It's just I thought a lover
had to be some kind of liar too.
If I, if I have been unkind
I hope that you can just let it go right on by
If I, if I have been untrue
I hope that you know by now, my love
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 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
I have tried in my way to be free - เพลง
I love this song so much, I have it playing on repeat while working out.. classic- tug at the heart strings 2024-&-Beyond..
I am from Montreal and was once in a restaurant in the late 70s he was there he was very handsome you could not help but flirt with him when he looked at you you felt like he was trying to figure out your life story we were not even sitting at the same table lol
We will never see his like again. Rip Maestro.
@glennmorris371 Maybe in a hundred years again? From time to time there comes a genius along... I also like Yusuf/Cat...he is just a poet like Lenny was...
We had such great music.
Learned this song in 1970, I love Leonard Cohen ❤, he was indeed the Holy Man on the FM radio Joni sang on “Ladies Of The Canyon”
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 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
Oh, 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
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
I have tried in my way to be free
