Bird On The Wire (Live)
[00:00.60]Like a bird on the wire
[00:18.89]Like a drunk in a midnight choir
[00:29.02]I have tried in my way to be free
[00:42.43]Like a worm on a hook
[00:49.94]Like a knight from some old fashioned book
[00:59.47]I have saved all my ribbons for thee
[01:10.22]If I, if I have been unkind
[01:17.78]I hope that you can just let it go by
[01:41.67]If I, if I have been untrue
[02:46.44]I hope you know it was never to you
[03:59.18]Like a baby, stillborn
[04:09.38]Like a beast with his horn
[04:15.96]I have torn everyone who reached out for me
[04:30.12]But I swear by this song
[04:38.69]And by all that I have done wrong
[04:44.88]I will make it all up to thee
[04:47.69]I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
[04:52.95]He said to me, You must not ask for so much.
[05:15.58]And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door
[05:25.96]She cried to me, Hey, why not ask for more
[05:55.64]Oh like a bird on the wire
[06:03.94]Like a drunk in a midnight choir
[06:13.91]I have tried in my way to be free
[00:18.89]Like a drunk in a midnight choir
[00:29.02]I have tried in my way to be free
[00:42.43]Like a worm on a hook
[00:49.94]Like a knight from some old fashioned book
[00:59.47]I have saved all my ribbons for thee
[01:10.22]If I, if I have been unkind
[01:17.78]I hope that you can just let it go by
[01:41.67]If I, if I have been untrue
[02:46.44]I hope you know it was never to you
[03:59.18]Like a baby, stillborn
[04:09.38]Like a beast with his horn
[04:15.96]I have torn everyone who reached out for me
[04:30.12]But I swear by this song
[04:38.69]And by all that I have done wrong
[04:44.88]I will make it all up to thee
[04:47.69]I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
[04:52.95]He said to me, You must not ask for so much.
[05:15.58]And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door
[05:25.96]She cried to me, Hey, why not ask for more
[05:55.64]Oh like a bird on the wire
[06:03.94]Like a drunk in a midnight choir
[06:13.91]I have tried in my way to be free
Like a bird on the 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
I have saved all my ribbons for thee
If I, if I have been unkind
I hope that you can just let it go by
If I, if I have been untrue
I hope you know it was never to you
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

Oh like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
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
I have saved all my ribbons for thee
If I, if I have been unkind
I hope that you can just let it go by
If I, if I have been untrue
I hope you know it was never to you
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 saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch

And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door
She cried to me, Hey, why not ask for more
Oh like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
