judy collins – bird on the wire 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 h-rn
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
