Rita Coolidge - Bird On The Wire lyrics
Your rating:
Like a bird on a wire Like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my own way to be free Like a worm on a hook Like a knight from an old fashioned book I have saved all my ribbons just for you And if I have been unkind I hope that you will let it go right on by And if I have been untrue I hope you know it was not to you Like a baby, still born Like a beast with his horn I have torn everyone who reached out for me But I swear by this old song By all, all I've done wrong I will make it, I make it all up, all up to you, yes I will I saw a beggar man, oh, leaning on his crutch And he said to me, "Oh, you must not ask for so much" And a pretty woman leaning in the door She cried out 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 own way to be free, oh Oh, I have tried in my own way to be free, to be free
