dave van ronk - bird on the wire lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
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 in an old+fashioned book
i have saved all my ribbons for thee

[bridge]
if i, if i’ve been unkind
i hope you will let it pass by
if i, if i’ve been untrue
i hope you know it was never to you

[verse 2]
like a baby, stillborn
like a beast with his h+rn
i have torn everything that reached out for me
but i swear by this song
and by all things i have done wrong
i will make it all up to thee

[bridge]
a cripple leaning on his wooden crutch
he told me, “don’t ask for too much”
and a lady leaning out of a door
said, “why not ask for more?”
[outro]
like a bird on the wire
like a drunk in a midnight choir
i have tried in my way to be free
