Lyrics for Bird On A Wire by JOHNNY CASH:
| | | Artist: | JOHNNY CASH |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Bird On A Wire | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 71 | | | | Lyrics: | (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 | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
