Bird on a Wire Songtext
von Leonard Cohen

Bird on a Wire Songtext

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 not to you


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 not ask for so much"
And a woman leaning in her darkened door
She cried 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


This song called "The Stranger"
Could you give me an E?
Could everybody give me an E?
