Lyrics:
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 the hook Like a knight in old fashioned book I have saved all my ribbons for thee And if I, if I have been unkind I hope that you will just let it go by And if I, if I have been untrue I hope you know that 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 I have done wrong That I will, I will make it all, all up to thee I saw a man, a beggar leaning on his crutch He said to me "Why do you ask for so much?" There was a woman who've been leaning in the door She said, "Why not, why not, why not, why not ask for more?" Like a bird on the wire Like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free
