Verse 1Like A Bird On A Wire,Like A Drunk In A Midnight ChoirI Have Tried In My Way To Be FreeLike A Worm On A Hook,Like A Knight From Some Old-Fashioned BookI Have Saved All My Ribbons For TheeIf I, If I Have Been UnkindI Hope That You Can Just Let It Go ByIf I, If I Have Been Untrue,I Hope You Know It Was Never To You.Verse 2Like A Baby Stillborn,Like A Beast With His HornI Have Torn Everyone Who Reached Out For Me.But I Swear By This SongAnd By All That I Have Done WrongI Will Make It All Up To Thee.I Saw A Beggar Leaning On His Wooden CrutchHe Said To Me, “You Must Not Ask For So Much.”And A Pretty Woman Leaning In Her Darkened Door,She Cried To Me, “Hey, Why Not Ask For More?”OutroLike A Bird On A Wire,Like A Drunk In A Midnight ChoirI Have Tried In My Way To Be Free
