You know this, 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 the hook
Like a knight in an old-fashioned book
Like a knight in an old-fashioned book
I have saved
All of my ribbons just for thee
And if I
If I've ever been unkind
I hope that you
You will just let it go by
And if I
If I've ever been untrue
Ooh
I hope you know
I hope you know it was
Never, never, never to you
Just like a baby
Stillborn
Just like a beast
With his horn
I have taught
I have taught
Everyone who reached out for me
But I swear by this song
By all I have done
That I know was wrong
That I will
I will not be alone
I will
You know I'll make it all up to thee
Just wait and see
I saw a man
He was a beggar
Leaning on his crutch
I saw a man
He was a beggar leaning on his crutch
You said to me
Judy, why
Why do you ask for so much?
A pretty woman
She was leaning in her door
She said, why not
As long as you're living
What are you doing?
Don't you go ahead and ask for more
You know life is very, very short
Mr. Russell Walden, ladies and gentlemen
I have tried in my way
I have tried in my way
To be free
Free
Thank you so much.
You're a wonderful audience.
I love you.
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 the hook
Like a knight in an old-fashioned book
Like a knight in an old-fashioned book
I have saved
All of my ribbons just for thee
And if I
If I've ever been unkind
I hope that you
You will just let it go by
And if I
If I've ever been untrue
Ooh
I hope you know
I hope you know it was
Never, never, never to you
Just like a baby
Stillborn
Just like a beast
With his horn
I have taught
I have taught
Everyone who reached out for me
But I swear by this song
By all I have done
That I know was wrong
That I will
I will not be alone
I will
You know I'll make it all up to thee
Just wait and see
I saw a man
He was a beggar
Leaning on his crutch
I saw a man
He was a beggar leaning on his crutch
You said to me
Judy, why
Why do you ask for so much?
A pretty woman
She was leaning in her door
She said, why not
As long as you're living
What are you doing?
Don't you go ahead and ask for more
You know life is very, very short
Mr. Russell Walden, ladies and gentlemen
I have tried in my way
I have tried in my way
To be free
Free
Thank you so much.
You're a wonderful audience.
I love you.
