bird on the wire

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 a hook

like a knight from some old fashioned book

i have saved all my ribbons for thee. if i

if i have been unkind

i hope that you can just let it go by. if i

if i have been untrue

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 for me. but i swear by this song

and by all that i have done wrong

i will make it all up to thee. i saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch

he said to me

you must not ask for so much."
