Leonard Cohen — Bird on a Wire Live in Toronto

Like a bird on the wire Like a drunk in an old midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free Like a worm on a hook Like a knight bent down in some old-fashioned book It was the shape of our love that twisted me If I have been unkind I hope you can find a way To let it all go right on by If I have been untrue It's just that I thought a lover Had to be some kind of liar too 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 And by all that I have done wrong I will make it all up to thee Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry no more It's over now, it's over babe, don't cry no more I say don't cry, don't cry, don't cry anymore It' over. It's finished. It's completed. It has been paid for Like a bird on the wire Like a drunk in some old midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free
