Bird On A Wire |
| 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 |
| I have tried in my way to be free. |
