Like a bird on a 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 The shape of our love twisted me And if I have been un-kind I hope that you will just let it go by And if I have been un-true I hope you know it was never to you Like a beast with his horn Like a baby still-born Yeah, I've torn every-one who's reached out to me But I swear by this song By all I have done wrong I will make it all up to thee I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch She said to me "Hey Josh, why ask for so much?" Saw my lady leaning on her bedroom door She said to me "C’mon babe, why not ask for more?" Like a bird on a wire Like a drunk in some old midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free
