[00:00.75]Like a bird on the wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir
[00:10.92]I have tried in my way to be free.
[00:17.97]
[00:20.34]Like a fish on a hook, like a knight from some old fashioned book
[00:30.32]I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
[00:37.69]
[00:40.81]If I, been unkind,
[00:47.00]
[00:50.00]I hope that you can just let it, let it go by.
[00:57.05]
[01:00.35]If I, have been untrue
[01:07.22]
[01:09.59]I hope you know it was never to you.
[01:17.39]
[01:19.51]Like a bird free
[01:24.89]there's a bird free
[01:28.63]
[01:32.00]Like a baby, stillborn, like a beast with his horn
[01:41.08]
[01:41.76]I have torn everyone who reached out for me.
[01:48.96]
[01:51.83]But I swear by this song and by all that I have done wrong
[02:00.88]
[02:01.58]I will make it all up to thee.
[02:08.82]
[02:11.75]don't cry no more don't cry
[02:18.43]
[02:21.36]it's completed, oh it's finished
[02:25.48]
[02:26.64]it's been paid for
[02:28.64]
[02:31.13]Like a bird free
[02:35.53]
[02:36.15]there's a bird free
[02:40.02]
[02:40.96]Like a bird free
[02:46.07]there's a bird free
[02:49.38]
[03:13.24]Like a bird free
[03:17.42]
[03:18.48]there's a bird free
[03:22.03]
[03:22.91]Like a bird free
[03:27.34]
[03:28.02]there's a bird free
[03:31.83]
[03:38.57]Like a bird  on the wire,
[03:46.38]
[03:47.63]like a drunk  in a midnight choir
[03:56.24]
