Bird On The Wire - Rita Coolidge

Like a bird

On the wire

Like a drunk

In a midnight choir

I have tried

In my way

To be free

Like worm

On a hook

Like a knight

From an old fashioned book

I have saved

All my ribbons

Just for you

And if I

Have been unkind

I hope that you

Will let it go run on by

And if I

Have been untrue

I hope you know

It was never to you

Like baby

Stillborn

Like a beast

With his horn

I have torn

Everyone

Who reached out for me

Mmm

But I swear

By this old song

By all

Of

I've done wrong

I will make it

Mmm

For the make of

All up to you

Mmm sorry

I saw a beggar man

Oh leaning on his crutch

And he said to me

Oh you must not ask for so much

And a pretty woman

Leaning in her darkened door

She cried out to me

Hey

Why not ask for more

Like a bird

On the wire

Like a drunk

In a midnight choir

I have tried

In my way

To be free

Mmmm

Oh I have tried

In my way

To be free

Oh

To be free
