Bird On a Wire (Live)

Like a bird on the wire

Like a drunk in some old midnight choir

I have tried in my way to be free

Like a worm on a hook

Like a knight bent down in some old fashioned book

It was the shape of our love, twisted me

If I have been unkind

If I have been unkind

I hope you can find a way to let it all go right on by

If I have been untrue

If I have been untrue

It was just that I thought a lover had to be some kind of liar too

Like a little baby, stillborn

Like a beast with his horn

I have torn everyone who reached out for me

But I'll swear by this song

I swear by all that I have done wrong

I will, I will

I will make it all up to thee

I don't cry

Don't cry, don't cry

Don't cry no more

It's over now, don't cry no more

I said don't cry

Don't cry, don't cry

Don't cry no more

It's over, it's finished, it's done now, completely

It's been paid for

Like a bird on the wire

Like a drunk in an old midnight choir

I have tried in my way to be free
