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 If I, I been so unkind, I hope that you just let it all go by If I, I been so untrue I hope that you know it was all for 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 Like a bird on a wire I have tried in my way to be free.
