Bird On The 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

Oh, 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

Don't cry, if I have been unkind

I hope that you can just let it go by

Don't cry, if I have been untrue

I hope you know it was never to you

Oh, like a bird on the wire

Like a drunk in a midnight choir

I have tried in my way to be free
