Bird On A Wire
Like a bird on a wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
Like a fish on a hook
Like a knight from some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee
If I have been unkind
I hope that you can just let, let it go by
If I have been untrue
I hope you know it was never to you
Like a bird, free as a bird, free
Like a baby stillborn
Like a beast with his horn
I have torn every one who reached out for me But I swear by this song
