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 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.'
and A Pretty Woman Leaning In Her Darkened Door,
she Cried To Me, 'hey, Why Not Ask For More'

oh Like A Bird On The Wire,
like A Drunk In A Midnight Choir
i Have Tried In My Way To Be Free.
