Like a bird on a wire


Written by

Leonard Cohen – Bird on the Wire (Live In Zurich, 1993)

Like a drunk in a midnight choir,
I have tried, in my way,
to be free.

[Be free with your money when it comes to L.Cohen merch.]

    Haha awesome, I’ve designed a tattoo around these lyrics but mine had less birds and less wires ;P I was keeping it simple. I like this though, and I love the song 🙂

    I particularly love the blood. Is that offensive? Impossible to be regretful. Very beautiful, Z. As for the song, there are no words.

Got something to say?
