Bird On A Wire Songtext / Lyric

Like a bird on a 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, you can just let it go by

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'll 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 out to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"



If I, if I have been unkind

I hope, you can just let it go by

If I have been untrue

It was never to you



Like a bird on a wire

Like a drunk in a midnight choir

I have tried in my way to be free
