Bird on a 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 an old fashioned book

I have saved all my ribbons for thee

And if I have been so unkind

I hope that you just let it all go by

And if I have been so untrue

I hope that you know it was all to you

Like a baby, stillborn

Like a beast with his horn

I've torn everyone who reached out for me

But I swear by this song

And all that I have done wrong

I'll make it all up to you

Don't cry, don't cry, anymore

It's over now, baby, don't cry no more

Don't cry, don't cry anymore

It's over now, baby, don't cry no more

Like a bird on a wire

Like a drunk in a midnight choir

I have tried in my way to be free
