Leonard Cohen — Bird on the Wire Live in Glasgow

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 on a hook Like a knight penned down in some old fashioned book It was the shape, the shape of an old love that twisted me If I have been unkind, if I have been unkind I hope that you can find a way to let all go right on by If I have been untrue, if I have been untrue It's just, I thought a lover had to be some kind of liar too Like a little baby, stillborn Like a beast with his horn I have torn everyone who reached out for me But I swear by this song I swear by all that I have done wrong I will make it all up to thee I say, don't cry, oh, don't cry, don't cry anymore It's over now, it's done, it has been paid for I say, don't cry, don't cry, you were always the one Yeah, it was you that this longing was made for Like a bird on the wire Like a drunk in some midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free
