Like a bird on the wire,
歌 like a drunk in a midnight choir
词 I have tried in my way to be free.
转 Like a worm on a hook,
自 like a knight from some old fashioned book
音 Cohen Leonard
魁 I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
网 If I, if I have been unkind,
ｉ I hope that you can just let it go by.
ｎ If I, if I have been untrue
ｋ I hope you know it was never to you.
ｕ Like a baby, stillborn,
ｉ like a beast with his horn
· I have torn everyone who reached out for me.
ｃ and by all that I have done wrong
ｏ I will make it all up to thee.
ｍ I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch,
　 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.
