Johnny Cash - Bird On A Wire Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • (Leonard Cohen)
  • Like a bird on a wire
  • Like a drunk in a midnight choir
  • I have tried in my way to be free
  • Like a fish on a hook
  • Like a knight from an old fashioned book
  • I have saved all my ribbons with thee
  • And if I have been unkind
  • I hope that you will just let it go by
  • And if I have been untrue
  • I hope you know it was never 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
  • By all I have done wrong
  • I'll make it all up to you
  • I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
  • He called out to me "Don't ask for so much!"
  • And a young man leaning on his darkened door
  • He cried out to me "Hey, why not ask for more!"
  • Like a bird on a wire
  • Like a drunk in a midnight choir
  • I have tried in my way to be free
