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
