Bird on a Wire-Adam Cohen[00:00:00]
Like a bird on a wire[00:00:05]
Like a drunk in a midnight choir[00:00:10]
I have tried in my way to be free[00:00:16]
Like a worm on a hook[00:00:26]
Like a knight from some old fashioned book[00:00:32]
I have saved all my ribbons for thee[00:00:37]
And if I have been unkind[00:00:48]
I hope you can just let it go by[00:00:53]
And if I have been untrue[00:00:59]
I hope you know it was never to you[00:01:04]
Like a baby stillborn[00:01:12]
Like a beast with his horns[00:01:18]
I have torn everyone[00:01:23]
Who reached out for me[00:01:28]
But I swear by this song[00:01:34]
And by all that I have done wrong[00:01:39]
I will make it all up to thee[00:01:45]
A beggar leaning on a wooden crutch[00:01:56]
Said to me "You must not ask for so much"[00:02:01]
And a pretty woman leaning[00:02:07]
On her darkened door[00:02:08]
Cried to me "Hey why not ask for more "[00:02:12]
Like a bird on a wire[00:02:20]
Like a drunk in a midnight choir[00:02:25]
I have tried in my way to be free[00:02:31]
To be free[00:02:41]
