out of the grey - bird on a wire lyrics

cover of leonard cohen song – played at live 8 2005

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 some old fashioned book
i have saved all my ribbons for thee.
and if i, if i’ve been unkind
i hope that you let it go by
and if i, if i’ve been untrue
i hope you know it was never for you.
like a baby, stillborn
like africa, without any hope
its time that we make this up to you
and i swear that we’re wrong
we’re good people, we have done wrong
and its time that we make this up to you

and i saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
he said to me, why don’t we ask for so much
a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door
she said to me, we should ask for more
and i swear by this song
we’re good people, we have done wrong
and africa, well its time we made this up to you

- out of the grey lyrics
