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 some old fashioned book I have saved all my ribbons just for you And if I have been unkind I hope that you will just let it go right on 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 horn I have torn everyone who reached out for me But I swear by this old song By all, all I've done wrong I will make it, I'm gonna make it all up to you, yes I will I saw a beggar man leaning on his wooden crutch And he said to me, "You must not ask for so much" And a pretty woman leaning in her door She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?" Oh, like a bird on a wire Like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my own way to be free, yes Oh, I have tried in my own way to be free, to be free
