The Lilac Time

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 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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I have torn everyone who reached out for me
But I swear by this song And by all that I have done wrong I wil 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 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
