Bird on the Wire 作词 : Leonard Cohen 作曲 : Leonard Cohen 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 from some old fashioned book I have saved all my ribbons for thee. If I, if I have been unkind,I hope that you can just let it go by. If I, if I have been untrue,I hope you know it was never to you. Like a baby, still born,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. I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch, he said to me, "You must not ask for so much." And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door, she cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?" Oh like a bird on the wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir. I have tried in my way to be free.
