Cochrane, Tom - Bird On A Wire Lyrics
Like a bird, like a bird on a wire
Like a drunk, in a midnight choir
I have tried, in my way to be free
Like a worm, like a worm on a hook
Like a man, in an old fashioned book
If I've... If I've been unkind
Then I hope, you'll just let it pass on by
Like a baby, like a baby still born
Like a beast, like a beast with its horns
I have torn everyone that reached out for me
And I saw a beggar, he was leanin' on his wooden crutch
Then he said to me, "Tom, don't you ask for so much"
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free

Cochrane, Tom Bird On A Wire Comments
One of the best versions I have heard of this song. Tom Cochrane is one of Canada's best kept secrets. A truly amazing artist and Man.
tank's leonard!!

Amazing
Kenny Greer steel guitar playing is what makes Red Ryder, penomenal phrasing. League of his own when it come to this stuff. A+++.
Soooo Amazing!!
Rare like a pearl indeed! A man who writes, sings & performs it so well!! Love you "Tom Cochrane & Red Ryder"
seen tom many many times always a great show..seems like a good dude also
this version is Extremely rare... from the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra.... from the album Symphony sessions only in Canada was it a bonus song on the cd... i own it it makes me cry at times
Tom Cochrane is a huge inspiration and very kind man! I have had the pleasure to meet him a few times and he just is a joy to meet and talk to! The man is incredibley smart and very humanly down to earth!! If ever you have the chance to see him live; it is soooo worth it!!
I
Tom rocks man...!
Are you a sad person Mr. Cochrane? You remind me of a JW I met once...oh so long ago. Did you sell a piece of yourself...is that why you seem so sad to me?
iris wigle : ALL great art comes from those with pain. No suffering, = crap art.
Thanks for sharing. Check out Aussie singer Troy Cassar Daly's version. He also did an excellant duet with Jimmy Barnes. Can someone please upload it.
very cool version
Thanks for posting, I think it's my fave version of this song. Now I wish they'd put this album on iTunes already!
Great version of a great song by a great Canadian musician.
