Bird On A Wire - Joe Bonamassa - Black Rock CD

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.

  • Mesmerizing !!! and a lot of credit should go to Thanasis Vasilopoulos on the clarinet

  • Love the indian sound at the beginning of the song... no words to describe how beautiful it is.....One of my favourites!

  • Takes a lot to beat Cohen on his own song......this guy's done it.....REALLY!

  • saw him in El Paso -- he's the read deal - the future -

  • Amazing, as always!

  • absolutely in love with this song. joe took it to a whole new level though... the ulilean pipes convey so much emotion, combined with flamenco guitars and reverb on the guitar. this version is one of my all-time favorite songs!
