Bird On A Wire |
|
Jennifer Warnes |
|
Like a bird on the 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 from an old fashioned book |
|
I have saved all my ribbons for thee. |
|
If I have been unkind, umm... |
|
I hope that you could just let it go by. Oh, let it go by. |
|
And if I have been untrue |
|
I hope you know it was never to you. No, no,oh |
|
Like a baby, stillborn |
|
like a beast with his horn |
|
I have torn everyone who reached out for me. |
|
But I swear by this song |
|
By all I have done wrong |
|
I'll make it all up to you. Yes I will |
|
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch, umm-- |
|
He called out to me, Don't ask for so much. |
|
And a young man leaning on his darkened door |
|
He cried out to me, Hey, why not ask for more? umm |
|
Like a bird on the wire |
|
Like a drunk in a midnight choir |
|
I have tried in my way to be free. |
|
umm... .... |
