Bird On A Wire Lyrics


Lilac Time Bird On A Wire


Like a bird on the wire,
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
Like a worm on a hook,
Like a knight from some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
If I, if I have been unkind,
I hope that you can just let it go by.
If I, if I have been untrue
it's just that I thought a lover had to be some kind of
liar too.

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, don't cry, don't cry no more. It's over now,
it's over babe, don't cry no more. I say don't cry, don't
cry, don't cry anymore. It's over. It's finished. It's
completed. It has been paid for.

Oh like a bird on the wire,
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
