Jennifer Warnes - Bird On A Wire
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 from
old fashioned book
I have saved all
my ribbons for thee
if I have been unkind
I hope that you will just
let it go by
let it go by thee
And if I have been untrue
I hope you know
it was never to you
Like a baby still born
Like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone
who reached out to me
But I swear by this song
And by all I have done wrong
I'll make it all up to you
I saw a begger leaning
on his wooden crutch
He called out to me
Don't ask for so much
And a young woman leaning
in her darkened door
She cried out to me
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
