Bird on a Wire Songtext
von Troy Cassar-Daley

Like a bird on a 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 in some old fashion book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee
And if I, if I have been unkind
Then I hope you
(I hope you)
will let it go by
(let it go by)
And if I, if I have been untrue
Then I hope you know
(I hope you know)
it was never to you
(it was never to you)
Like a baby still born
Like a beast with it′s horns
I have torn everyone


that reached out to me
Oh yeah
But I swear
(I swear)
by this song and by all I have done wrong
I'll make it all up to thee
Saw a young man leaning on his wooden crutch
He called out to me
(calling out to me)
don′t ask for so much
(don't ask for so much)
I saw a young woman leaning in her darkened door
She cried out to me
(crying out to me)
why not ask for more
(why not ask for some more)
Like a bird on a wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
