Bird On A Wire · letra

Like a bird on a wire like a drunk in a midnight choir i have tried in my way to be free like a fish on a hook like a knight in an old fashioned book i have saved all my ribbons with thee And if i have been unkind i hope you will 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 horn i have torn everyone who reached out for me But i swear by this song by all i have done wrong i'll make it all up to you I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch he called out to me "don't ask for so much" and a young man leaning on his darkened door he cried out to me "hey, why not ask for more" Like a bird on a wire like a drunk in a midnight choir i have tried in my way to be free
