Bird on the Wire

[00:12.72] Like a bird on the wire
[00:16.49] Like a drunk in a midnight choir
[00:23.26] I have tried in my way to be free
[00:34.33] Like a worm on a hook
[00:39.63] Like a knight from some old-fashioned book
[00:45.45] I have saved all my ribbons for thee
[00:57.00] If I, if I have been unkind
[01:08.71] I hope that you can just let it go by
[01:19.35] If I, if I have been untrue
[01:30.80] I hope you know it was never to you
[01:41.14] Oh, like a baby, stillborn
[01:45.92] Like a beast with his horn
[01:50.97] I have torn everyone who reached out for me
[02:01.11] But I swear by this song
[02:11.23] And by all that I have done wrong
[02:16.43] I will make it all up to thee
[02:24.53] I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
[02:35.51] He said to me, "You not ask for so much"
[02:47.34] And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door
[02:57.08] She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"
[03:07.20] Oh, like a bird on the wire
[03:12.48] Like a drunk in a midnight choir
[03:17.98] I have tried in my way to be free
[03:44.85]
