Bird On the Wire Lyrics & Tabs by Adam Cohen
Bird On the Wire
guitar chords lyrics
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
from some old fashion book.
I have saved
all my ribbons
for thee.
If I have been unkind,
all my ribbons
for thee.
If I have been unkind,
I hope you can just let it go by.
If I have been untrue,
I hope you know it was never to you.
Like a baby
stillborn,
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.
A beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
said to me "You must not ask for so much".
A pretty women leaning in her darkened door
cried to me "Hey, why not ask for more?".
Like a bird
on a wire,
like a drunk
in a midnight choir,
I have tried,
in my way,
to be free.
Tried in my way,
to be free.
