Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Bird On The Wire Lyrics

Manfred Mann's Earth Band Lyrics

"Bird On The Wire"
(originally by Leonard 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
(Like a drunk in a midnight choir)
I hope that you can let it go by

Like a baby, stillborn
Like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone who reached out for me
I have tried in my way to be free

Like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
