rita coolidge - bird on the wire lyrics
like a bird on a wire
like a drunk in a midnight choir
i have tried in my own way to be free
like a worm on a hook
like a knight from some old fashioned book
i have saved all my ribbons just for you
and if i have been unkind
i hope that you will just let it go right on by
and if i have been untrue
i hope you know 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 old song
by all, all i’ve done wrong
i will make it, i’m gonna make it all up to you, yes i will
i saw a beggar man leaning on his wooden crutch
and he said to me, “you must not ask for so much”
and a pretty woman leaning in her door
she cried to me, “hey, why not ask for more?”
oh, like a bird on a wire
like a drunk in a midnight choir
i have tried in my own way to be free, yes
oh, i have tried in my own way to be free, to be free
