Bird On The Wire歌词

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 a hook
Like a knight in some old-fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee
If I，if I have been unkind
I hope that you can just let it go by
If I, if I have been untrue
I hope you know 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 that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee.
I saw a beggar standing on his wooden crutch
He said to me, "Do not ask for so much."
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door
She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"
Like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in some poor midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
