Like a bird on a wire
Like a drunk in some midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
Like a worm on the hook
Like a knight bent down some old-fashioned book
It was the shape, the shape of our love twisted me
If I, if I have been unkind
I hope you can, I hope you can just let it all go by, go by
And if I, if I have been untrue
It's just that I thought a lover had to be some kind of liar too
Like a baby, stillborn
Like a beast with his horn
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
I saw a beggar, he was leaning on his wooden crutch
He said to me, "Come on now, you must not ask for so much", yeah
And another pretty woman, she was leaning in her darkened door
She cried out to me, "Come on now, why don't you ask
Why don't you ask for just a little more, just a little more?"
Like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in some old midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
Like a drunk in some midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
Like a worm on the hook
Like a knight bent down some old-fashioned book
It was the shape, the shape of our love twisted me
If I, if I have been unkind
I hope you can, I hope you can just let it all go by, go by
And if I, if I have been untrue
It's just that I thought a lover had to be some kind of liar too
Like a baby, stillborn
Like a beast with his horn
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
I saw a beggar, he was leaning on his wooden crutch
He said to me, "Come on now, you must not ask for so much", yeah
And another pretty woman, she was leaning in her darkened door
She cried out to me, "Come on now, why don't you ask
Why don't you ask for just a little more, just a little more?"
Like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in some old midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
