Lyrics
Like a bird on a wire Like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my own way to be free Like a worm on a hook Like a knight from one old fashioned book I have saved all my ribbons just for you And if I have been unkind I hope that you will let it go by And if I have been untrue I hope you know it was not to you Like a baby, stillborn Like a beast with his horns I have torn everyone Who reached out for me But I swear by this own song By all, all I have done wrong I won make it, make it all up to you I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch And he said to me, "You must not ask for so much." And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door She cry 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 I have tried in my own way to be free To be free
