Bird on the Wire

[00:00.55] Like a bird on the wire
[00:06.72] Like a drunk in a midnight choir
[00:12.82] I have tried, in my way, to be free
[00:24.04] Like a worm on a hook
[00:29.88] Like a knight from some old-fashioned book
[00:36.24] I have saved all my ribbons, for thee
[00:49.18] If I, if I have been unkind
[00:58.44] I hope that you can just let it go by
[01:09.64] If I, if I have been untrue
[01:21.29] I hope you know it was never to you!
[01:28.29] Oh, like a baby, stillborn
[01:36.85] Like a beast with his horn
[01:42.34] I have torn everyone who reached out for me
[01:53.31] But I swear by this song
[01:58.83] And by all that I have done wrong
[02:04.56] I will make it all up to thee
[02:15.75] I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
[02:26.35] He said to me, "You must not ask for so much"
[02:37.50] And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door
[02:47.96] She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"
[02:58.00] Oh, like a bird on the wire
[03:04.39] Like a drunk in a midnight choir
[03:09.76] I have tried, in my way, to be free
[03:17.08]
