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 And if I, if I have been unkind Well, I hope that you can just let it go by And if I, if I have been untrue Well, 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 I swear by all that I have done wrong I will make, I will make it all up to thee I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch Well, he cried to me "Go ask for some more" And a pretty woman standing by her darkened door Hey, she said to me, "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
