Leonard Cohen - Bird On A Wire

43

[audience cheering]

["Bird On The Wire" playing]

Like a bird on the wire

Like a drunk In an old midnight choir

I have tried in my way

Like a worm on a hook

Like a knight from Some old fashioned book

It was the shape The shape of our love

That twisted me

If I have been unkind

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

If I have been untrue

It's just that I thought a liar

I thought a lover Had to be Some kind of liar too

[electric guitar solo]

Bob Metzger on the guitar.

Dino Soldo on the saxophone.

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

I swear by all That I have done wrong

I will make it all All up to thee

I saw this beggar

He was leaning on His wooden crutch

Leonard, you just can't ask For all that much

Standing in Her darkened door

She cries out to me

Hey, why not ask for Just a little bit more?

Like a bird on the wire

Like a drunk in An old midnight choir

I have tried in my way

[audience applauding]
