Bird on the 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 worm on a hook

Like a knight from some old fashioned book

I have saved all my ribbons for thee

And if I have been unkind

I hope you can just let it go by

And if I have been untrue

I hope you know it was never to you

Like a baby stillborn

Like a beast with his horns

I have torn everyone who reached out for me

if I have been so unkind

I hope you can just let it go by

if I have been untrue

I hope you know it was never to you

But I swear by this song

And by all that I have done wrong

I will make it all up to thee

Like a bird on a wire

Like a drunk in a midnight choir

I have tried in my way to be free

To be free

I have tried in my own way to be free
