jennifer warnes - 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 fish on a hook
like a knight from an old fashioned book
i have saved all my ribbons for thee
if i have been unkind
i hope that you could just let it go by
and if i have been untrue
i hope you know it was never to you, no, no
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
by all i have done wrong
i’ll make it all up to you, yes, i will
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 the wire
like a drunk in a midnight choir
i have tried in my way to be free
