Birds on a Wire - See the Video

All we need is Leonard Cohen's sound track - 'Like a bird on the wire'.

Bird settles on telephone wire

Oh like a bird on the wire,
Like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free.

Friends arrive

Big bird on the wire

Classic shot of frightened birds on a wire

Can 'Big Bird' be friends with the little birds?

See what happens when the big bird settles on the telegraph wire. All will be revealed in the video below.

'Like a bird on the wire'. By Leonard Cohen  (Also recorded by Johnny Cash)

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 a hook,
Like a knight from some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
If i, if I have been unkind,
I hope that you can just let it go by.
If i, if I have been untrue
I hope you know it was never to you.

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
And by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee.
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch,
He said to me, you must not ask for so much.
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,
She cried to me, hey, why not ask for more?

Oh like a bird on the wire,
Like a drunk in a midnight choir have tried in my way to be free.

Bird on a Wire Legends and Superstitions.

• Country people say that a flock of blackbirds on a telegraph wire it means that a storm is approaching.  So, bring in your washing, and break out the Macintoshes.
• If a bird especially flies into a house then beware, it's a portend of a death within a year.   The foreboding acquires extra significance if the bird is a sparrow, and they fly in through a window not the door.
• Doves are a good omen.  A pair of doves on the gatepost is a sign that there will be a wedding by Christmas.
• In Edwardian times, women sewed a swan's feather into their husbands pillows, in the belief that it would stop them being unfaithful.
• With crows the number that you see is highly significant, so know when to stop counting!
  One's bad,
  Two's luck,
  Three's health,
  Four's wealth,
  Five's sickness,
  Six is death.
