| [00:00.090] | Like a bird on the wire,like a drunk in a midnight choir |
| [00:13.350] | I have tried in my way to be free. |
| [00:24.860] | Like a worm (fish) on a hook,like a knight from some old fashioned book |
| [00:36.280] | I have saved all my ribbons for thee. |
| [00:49.310] | If I, if I have been unkind,I hope that you can just let it go by. |
| [01:10.980] | If I, if I have been untrue,I hope you know it was never to you. |
| [01:30.880] | Like a baby, still born,like a beast with his horn |
| [01:42.220] | I have torn everyone who reached out for me. |
| [01:53.710] | But I swear by this song and by all that I have done wrong |
| [02:06.680] | I will make it all up to thee. |
| [02:17.020] | I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch, |
| [02:27.680] | he said to me, "You must not ask for so much." “” |
| [02:38.220] | And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door, |
| [02:48.870] | she cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?" “ ” |
| [02:57.430] | Oh like a bird on the wire, |
| [03:04.970] | like a drunk in a midnight choir have tried in my way to be free. |
