[Verse 1: Leonard Cohen]
Like a bird on a wire
Like a drunk in an old midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
Like a worm on the hook
Like a knight bent down in some old-fashioned book
It was the shape, the shape of our love that twisted me
If I have been unkind, oh, if I have been unkind
I hope you can find a way to let it all go right on by
If I have been untrue, if I have been untrue
It's just that I thought a liar— I thought a lover had to be some kind of liar too

[Verse 3: Leonard Cohen, All]
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
I, I swear by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all, all up to thee
Like a bird on a wire
Like a drunk in an old midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
Like a worm on the hook
Like a knight bent down in some old-fashioned book
It was the shape, the shape of our love that twisted me
If I have been unkind, oh, if I have been unkind
I hope you can find a way to let it all go right on by
If I have been untrue, if I have been untrue
It's just that I thought a liar— I thought a lover had to be some kind of liar too
