Bird On The Wire

Leonard Cohen

Like a Gbird on the Dwire, like a Gdrunk in a midnight Cchoir

I have Gtried in my Dway to be freGeGsus4G

Like a Gworm on a Dhook, like a Gknight from some old-fashioned Cbook

I have Gsaved all my Dribbons for GtheeGsus4G

CIf I, if I have been unkGind

AmI hope that you can just let it go Gby

CIf I, if I have been untrGue,

AmI hope you know it was never to Dyou.Dsus4D

Like a Gbaby stillboDrn, like a Gbeast with his Chorn

I have Gtorn everyoDne who reached out for Gme.Gsus4G

But I Gswear by this Dsong and by Gall that I have done wroCng

GI will make it Dall up to Gthee.Gsus4G

CI saw a beggar leaning on his wooden Gcrutch

AmHe said to me, "You must not ask for Gso much."

CAnd a pretty woman leaning in her darkened Gdoor,

AmShe cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for DmorDsus4e?"D

Like a Gbird on the Dwire, like a Gdrunk in a midnight Cchoir

I have Gtried in my Dway to be CfreeG
