Cohen, Leonard - Bird On The Wire Lyrics
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
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, 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.
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.

приятно слушать... великий
I just love Leonard Cohen...que hombre más maravilloso y guapo y su nariz no era un apaga velas sino todo lo contrario.... por dónde iba había luz....
I rarely like any cover of a Leonard Cohen song but I do like Johnny Cash's cover of this song.
Thank you.
una sola frase piccola ma significativa " UN GRANDE"
Великий Музыкант ! Царствие Небесное...
Wow that tenor sax is the most beautiful one I've ever seen. What's the cost of that I wonder?
Er zieht dich in seinen Bann. Du kannst nicht entkommen. Er ist ein Geschenk. Er berührt die Seelen. Noch immer

I sit and listen all day to Leonard Cohen with tears in my eyes it's so hurtful that he passed away he had plenty more to givel

For me the greatest of all time, just will love you as the most talented bard, minstrel, poet, musician, artist and first and foremost, true human of all time, a gentle soul of light. I think even when this man was being unkind and selfish and human, he never managed to be evil; it was against his nature to be evil. He simply believed in humankind's and nature's ability to defeat destruction and evil in a very humble way, which is truly inspiring even if some of us can't manage to do it. You can tell his momma taught him well to have just a little respect or maybe he taught himself through his experience.
I aspire to be half the man, lost in time, lost in meaning,
Thank you Leonard!!! SUPEEER MUSIC!! WONDERFUL!! 👉❤👈🎤🎤🎤🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵💕💕
