Bird On a Wire (with Bella)
Like a bird on a wire
I have tried in my way to be free
Like a fish on a hook
Like a line in some old fashion book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee
And if I, if I have been unkind
I just hope you
(I hope you)
will let it go by
(let it go by)
And if I, if I have been untrue
I just hope you know
(I hope you know)
it was never to you
(it was never to you)
Like a baby still born
Like a beast with it's horns
I have torn everyone
that reached out to me
But I swear
(I swear)
by this song and by all I have done wrong
I'll make it all up to thee
Saw a young man leaning on his wooden crutch
He called out to me
(calling out to me)
don't ask for so much
(don't ask for so much)
And a young woman leaning in her darkened door
She cried out to me
(crying out to me)
why not ask for more
(why not ask for more)
Like a bird on a wire
I have tried in my way to be free
I have tried in my way to be free
Like a fish on a hook
Like a line in some old fashion book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee
And if I, if I have been unkind
I just hope you
(I hope you)
will let it go by
(let it go by)
And if I, if I have been untrue
I just hope you know
(I hope you know)
it was never to you
(it was never to you)
Like a baby still born
Like a beast with it's horns
I have torn everyone
that reached out to me
But I swear
(I swear)
by this song and by all I have done wrong
I'll make it all up to thee
Saw a young man leaning on his wooden crutch
He called out to me
(calling out to me)
don't ask for so much
(don't ask for so much)
And a young woman leaning in her darkened door
She cried out to me
(crying out to me)
why not ask for more
(why not ask for more)
Like a bird on a wire
I have tried in my way to be free
