Fairport Convention
Bird on a Wire
Like a bird on a wireLike a drunk in a midnight choirI have tried in my way to be freeLike a fish on a hookLike a knight in some old fashioned bookI have saved all my ribbons for theeAnd if I, if I have been unkindI just hope you will let it go byAnd if I, if I have been untrueI just hope you know it was never to youLike a baby still bornLike a beast with his hornI have torn everyoneWho reached out to meBut I swear by this songAnd by all that I have done wrongI'll make it all up to theeI saw a young man leaning on his wooden crutchAnd he called out to me, "Don't ask for so much"And a young woman leaning in her darkened doorAnd she called out to me, "Hey, why not ask for more"Like a bird on a wireLike a drunk in a midnight choirI have tried in my way to be free
