Lyrics
Like a bird on the 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 some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
If I, been unkind,
I hope that you can just let it, let it go by.
If I, have been untrue
I hope you know it was never to you.
Like a bird free
there's a bird free
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 will make it all up to thee.
don't cry no more don't cry
it's completed, oh it's finished
it's been paid for
Like a bird free
there's a bird free
Like a bird free
there's a bird free
Like a bird free
there's a bird free
Like a bird free
there's a bird free
Like a bird on the wire,
like a drunk in a midnight choir
don't cry don't cry
Like a bird free free
I have tried in my way to be free.
Like a fish on a hook, like a knight from some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
If I, been unkind,
I hope that you can just let it, let it go by.
If I, have been untrue
I hope you know it was never to you.
Like a bird free
there's a bird free
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 will make it all up to thee.
don't cry no more don't cry
it's completed, oh it's finished
it's been paid for
Like a bird free
there's a bird free
Like a bird free
there's a bird free
Like a bird free
there's a bird free
Like a bird free
there's a bird free
Like a bird on the wire,
like a drunk in a midnight choir
don't cry don't cry
Like a bird free free
