Like a bird on a 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 an old fashioned book.
I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
And if I have been so unkind
I hope that you will just let it all go by
And if I have been so untrue
I hope that you know it was all for 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 all that I've done wrong
I'll make it all up to you
Ten foot high don't cry anymore
It's over now babe don't cry no more.
Don't cry, don't cry, anymore.
It's over now babe, don't cry no more.
Like a bird on a wire
