Bird On A Wire - Live With Orchestra Lyrics

Like a bird on a 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 in a some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee

And if I have been unkind
I just hope you will just let it go by
And if I, if I have been untrue
I just hope you know it was never to you

Like a baby stillborn
Like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone
Who reached out to me

But I swear by this song
And by all that I have done wrong
I'll make it all up to thee

I saw a young man
Leaning on his wooden crutch
And he called out to me
"Don't ask for so much"
And a young woman
Leaning on her darkened door
And she cried out to me
"Hey, why not ask for more"

Like a bird on a wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
