joe cocker - bird on the wire (live at the fillmore east/1970) 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 an old-fashioned book
i have saved all my ribbons for thee
and if i, if i have been unkind
well, 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 h-rn
i have torn everyone who reached out for me
but i swear by this song
i swear by all that i have done wrong
i will make, i will make it all up to thee
i saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
well, he cried out to me, “you must not ask for so much.”
and a pretty woman stood by her darkened door
and she said to me, “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
