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... ....
