Bird On A Wire Bird On The Wire -Stina Nordenstam Written by :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 have been unkind Please just let it go by If I have been untrue 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 And by all that I have done wrong I will make it all up to thee
