Like a bird on a wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I've tried in my way to be free
Like a worm on a hook
Like a knight in an old fashioned book
I've saved all my ribbons for thee
And if I, if I've been unkind
I hope that you will let it go by
And if I, if I've been untrue
I hope you know it was never to you
So I swear by this song
I swear by all I did wrong
I will make it
I will make it all up to thee
Like a bird on a wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I've tried in my way to be free.
