Like a drunk in a midnight choir She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?" Like a bird on the wire I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch Oh, like a bird on the wire But I swear by this song I will make it all up to thee Oh, like a baby, stillborn I hope that you can just let it go by I have torn everyone who reached out for me If I, if I have been unkind He said to me, "You must not ask for so much" If I, if I have been untrue Like a beast with his horn I have tried in my way to be free I have tried in my way to be free I have saved all my ribbons for thee Publisher: LEONARD COHEN STRANGER MUSIC INC I hope you know it was never to you Like a worm on a hook Like a drunk in a midnight choir And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door And by all that I have done wrong Like a knight from some old fashioned book Songwriter: Leonard Cohen
