In my viewfinder
Photography, Art, Italian photographer, Massimo S. Volonté Fotografo
I have tried in my way to be free
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
For 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
I have tried in my way to be free
_ Leonard Cohen [Like a bird on a wire] _

Life in vain
Don’t want to be free of hope
And I’m at the end of my rope
It’s so tough just to be alive
When I feel like the living dead
I’m giving it up so plain
I’m living my life in vain
And where am I going to?
I got to really try
Try so hard to get by
And where am I going to?
I don’t know where is up or down
And there ain’t any love left around
Everybody wearin’ a frown
Waiting for Santa to come to town
You’re giving it up so plain
You’re living your lives in vain
And where are you going to?
You’ve got to really try
Try so hard to get by
And where are you going to?
Flip on your TV
And try to make sense out of that
If we were all in the movies
Maybe we wouldn’t be so bored
We’re giving it up so plain
We’re living our lives in vain
And where are we going to?
You gotta really try
Try so hard to get by
And where are you going to?
Goodbye, goodbye
_ Daniel Johnston [Life in vain] _
