Testo di Bird On a Wire

Like a bird on a 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 an old fashioned book I have saved all my ribbons with thee And if I have been unkind I hope that you will just let it go by And if I have been untrue I hope you know it was never to you 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 By all I have done wrong I'll make it all up to you I saw a young man leaning on his wooden crutch He called out to me: don't ask for so much And a young man leaning on his darkened door He cried out to me: hey, why not ask for more? Like a bird on a wire Like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free
