Bird On The Wire

Lyrics
Like a bird on the 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 an old fashioned book I have saved all my ribbons for thee If I have been unkind I hope that you could just let it go by And if I have been untrue I hope you know it was never to you, no, no 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 By all I have done wrong I'll make it all up to you, yes, I will I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch He called out to me, "Don't ask for so much" And a young man leaning on his darkened door He cried out to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?" Like a bird on the wire Like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free
