Bird On A Wire Lyrics

Brian Webb

Oh like a bird on a 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 in some old fashion book
I saved all my ribbons for thee

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

Oh like a baby still born
Like a beast with his horns
I have torn everyone who reached out for me

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

I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
He said to me, "you must not ask for so much"
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door
She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more."
Oh like a bird on a wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choirI have tried in my way to be free
