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 the hook

Like a knight in old fashioned book

I have saved all my ribbons for thee

And if I  if I have been unkind

I hope that you will just let it go by

And if I  if I have been untrue
I hope you know that it was not 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 I have done wrong

That I will  I will make it all  all up to thee

I saw a man  a beggar leaning on his crutch

He said to me
Why do you ask for so much

There was a woman who've been leaning in the door

She said
Why not  why not  why not  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
