- Songwriters: Leonard Cohen
Like a bird on a 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 an old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee
And if I have been so unkind
I hope that you just let it all go by
And if I have been so untrue
I hope that you know it was all to you
Like a baby, stillborn
Like a beast with his horn
I've torn everyone who reached out for me
But I swear by this song
And all that I have done wrong
I'll make it all up to you
Don't cry, don't cry, anymore
It's over now, baby, don't cry no more
Don't cry, don't cry anymore
It's over now, baby, don't cry no more
Like a bird on a wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
In the Know
