Bird On The Wire

Leonard Cohen

Like a Abird on the Ewire, like a Adrunk in a midnight Dchoir

I have Atried in my Eway to be freAeAsus4A

Like a Aworm on a Ehook, like a Aknight from some old-fashioned Dbook

I have Asaved all my Eribbons for AtheeAsus4A

DIf I, if I have been unkAind

HmI hope that you can just let it go Aby

DIf I, if I have been untrAue,

HmI hope you know it was never to Eyou.Esus4E

Like a Ababy stillboErn, like a Abeast with his Dhorn

I have Atorn everyoEne who reached out for Ame.Asus4A

But I Aswear by this Esong and by Aall that I have done wroDng

AI will make it Eall up to Athee.Asus4A

DI saw a beggar leaning on his wooden Acrutch

HmHe said to me, "You must not ask for Aso much."

DAnd a pretty woman leaning in her darkened Adoor,

HmShe cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for EmorEsus4e?"E

Like a Abird on the Ewire, like a Adrunk in a midnight Dchoir

I have Atried in my Eway to be DfreeA
