Lyrics to 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.
If I, if I have been unkind,
I hope that you can just let it go by.
If I, if I have 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?"
Oh like a bird on the wire,
like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
Crazy love come true with the guitar so sweet and the love so deep, a happy ending, a trivial goodbye, a kiss asking why,
a love never ending in soccur, bells ringing
little baby, still baby torn without love, that's me,
done wrong, yet so right glory be xx

Leonard, you make me cry, you crazy man! When I hear this, I wish I go away before anyone I love.
