    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, 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.
    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.

      I agree with you Joe, the 80s truly WAS the last great decade for music. Have you ever heard some of today's SO called stars try to sing without full-time (which wasn't available back in the day)?!? Horrendous! But THIS, THIS is talent!💜

    토요일 저녁에 한국 방송에서 영화를 방영했는데 이 노래가 나왔다. 아주 오래전 우연히 이 노래를 듣고 너무 좋은음악이라고 느꼈었다.
    영화를 보다 이 노래가 나와 너무 반가왔다. 나를 옛 추억 속으로 빠지게 하는 음악이다.

    Canadian (Montreal Jew) poet Leonard Cohen’s “Bird On The Wire,” is a song that ruminates on the impossibility of freedom in a world rife with tethers. The inspiration for “Bird On The Wire” came from Cohen’s time in the ’60s living on the rustic Greek island of Hydra. When he first arrived there, the island didn’t even have electricity, but Cohen soon witnessed the construction of telephone poles in this idyllic place. So there actually were birds on the wire to fire up the songwriter’s imagination.
    Much of Cohen’s music has been used by artists looking for cover material, and “Bird On The Wire” has proved especially fertile ground, perhaps because it’s one of the Canadian bard’s most elastic melodies. In addition to Neville Brothers, there have been performances of the song by numerous notable artists, including Judy Collins, Fairport Convention, Joe Cocker, The Neville Brothers, Tim Hardin, K.D. Lang, and Johnny Cash.
