| Leonard Cohen – Bird on the Wire Lyrics | 15 years ago |

This quote from Leonard Cohen explaining how he wrote the line might help you understand a little better; "that’s also set on the island. Where drinkers, me included, would come up the stairs. There was great tolerance among the people for that because it could be in the middle of the night. You’d see three guys with their arms around each other, stumbling up the stairs and singing these impeccable thirds. So that image came from the island: "Like a drunk in a midnight choir."
