Bird On A Wire Live With Orchestra lyrics

Like a bird on a wire Like a drunk in a midnight choir

I have tried in my way to be free

Like a fish on a hook Like a knight from an old fashioned book

I have saved all my ribbons with thee



And if I have been unkind I hope that you will just let it go by

And 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

By all I have done wrong

I`ll make it all up to you



I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch

He called out to me " Don`t ask for so much "

And a young man leaning on his darkened door

He cried out to me " Hey, why not ask for more "



Like a bird on a wire

Like a drunk in a midnight choir

I have tried in my way to be free
