Joe Cocker - Joe Cocker!

Bird On A 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

And if I, if I have been unkind
Well, I hope that you can just let it go by
And if I, if I have been untrue
Well, 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
I swear by all that I have done wrong
I will make, I will make it all up to thee

I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
Well, he cried to me "Go ask for some more"
And a pretty woman standing by her darkened door
Hey, she said to me, "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
