Bird on the Wire Songtext

von Adam Cohen

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 fashion book.
I have saved
All my ribbons
For thee.
If I have been unkind,
I hope you can just let it go by.
If I have been untrue,
I hope you know it was never to you.
Like a baby
Stillborn,
Like a beast
With his horns,
I have torn
Everyone
Who reached out for me.
But I swear
By this song
And by all that I have done wrong,
I will make it all up to thee.
A beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
Said to me "You must not ask for so much".
A pretty women leaning in her darkened door
Cried to me "Hey, 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.
Tried in my way,
To be free.
