Like a bird on the wire

Like a drunk in a midnight choir

I have tried in my way to be free

Like a worm on a hook

Like a knight from some old fashioned book

I have saved all my ribbons for thee

And if I if I have been unkind

I hope that you can just let it go by

And if I if I have been untrue

I hope you know it was never to you

So I swear by this song

I swear by all that I have done wrong

I will make it all up to thee all of the thee

Oh like a bird on the wire

Like a drunk in a midnight choir

I have tried in my way to be free
