Like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I've tried in my way to be free
Like a worm on a hook
Like a knight from some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee
If I've been unkind
ย
Please just let it go by
If I've been untrue
ย
It was never to you
Like a baby, stillborn
Like a beast with his horn
I've torn everyone who reached out for me
ย
If I've been unkind
If I've been untrue
ย
But I swear by this song
And by all that I've done wrong
ย
I will make it all up to thee
ย
Unkind, untrue
ย
It was never to you
