Like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in an old midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
Like a worm on a hook
Like a knight bent down in some old fashioned book
It was the shape of our love that twisted me
If I have been unkind, if I have been unkind
Oh I hope you can find a way to let it all go right on by
If I have been un, if I have been untrue, if I have been untrue
It's just that I thought a lover had to be some kind of liar too
Like a little baby, stillborn
Like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone who reached out for me
But I swear by this song
By all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee
Ah don't cry, don't, don't cry, don't cry no more
It's over now, it's over, babe, don't cry no more
I say don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry anymore
It's over, it's finished, it's completed and has, it has been paid for
Like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in some old midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
