Bird on the Wire - Leonard Cohen (莱昂纳德·科恩)

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 fish 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

Like a baby still born

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
