Paul Kelly – Bird on the Wire

Paul Kelly – Bird on the Wire Lyrics

Artist: Paul Kelly
Song: Bird on the 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
And if I, if I’ve been unkind
I hope that you can just let it go by

If I, if I’ve 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
And by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee

I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
He said to me, “You must not ask for so much”
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door
She cried to me, “Hey, why not ask for more?”

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