Like a bird on a wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my own way to be free
ย
And like a fish on a hook
Like a knight in some old-fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee
ย
And if I have been
If I've been unkind
Well, I just hope you will
Let it go by
ย
And if I
If I have been untrue
ย
Well, 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 to me
ย
But I swear by this song
And by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee
ย
And I saw a young man leaning on his wooden crutch
ย
He called out to me, "Don't ask for so much"
And a young woman leaning in her darkened door
ย
She cried out to me, "Why not ask for more?"
Like a bird on a wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my own way to be free
