Bird On The Wire

Like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I've tried in my way to be free

Like a worm on a hook
Like a knight from some old fashioned book
I've saved all my ribbons for thee

If I've been unkind
Please just let it go by
If I've been untrue
It was never to you

Like a baby, stillborn
Like a beast with his horn
I've torn everyone who reached out for me

If I've been unkind
If I've been untrue

But I swear by this song
And by all that I've done wrong
I will make it all up to thee

Unkind
Untrue
It was never to you
