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 some old fashioned book I have saved all my ribbon for thee
If I have been unkind I hope that you will can just let let it go by If I have been untrue I hope you know it was never to you
Like a bird, 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 faithful
Like a bird, there's a bird free Like a bird, there's a bird free
Like a bird, there's a bird free Like a bird, there's a bird free
Like a bird on a on a wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir Don't cry, don't cry Like a bird free, like a bird free
