Bird On A Wire

Lyrics

Like a bird, 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, like worm on a hook,

like a knight in an old fashioned book

I have saved all my ribbons for you.

And if I, if I've been unkind,

Then I hope that you just let it pass on by.

Like a baby, like a baby stillborn,

like a beast with his horn

I have torn everyone who reached out for me.

And I saw a beggar he was leaning on his wooden crutch,

then he said to me "Tom, don't you ask for so much."

Like a bird, like a bird on a wire,

like a drunk in a midnight choir

I have tried in my way to be free.
