Bird on a Wire - Digitally Remastered

Like a bird on a wire
 Like a drunk in a midnight choir
 I have tried in my way to be free
 Like a fish on a hook
 Like a knight from an old fashioned book
 I have saved all my ribbons for thee
 If I have been unkind, mm-hmm
 I hope that you could just let it go by
 (Ooh, let it all go by, baby)
 And if I have been untrue
 I hope you know it was never to you, no, no
 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
 By all I have done wrong
 I'll make it all up to you, yes, I will
 I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
 He called out to me, "Don't ask for so much"
 And a young man leaning on his darkened door
 He cried out to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"
 Like a (like a bird) bird on a wire (on a wire)
 Like a drunk in a midnight choir
 I have tried in my way to be free
