Johnny Cash Bird On A Wire Lyrics

Bird On A Wire Lyrics




Like a bird on a wire Like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way
to be free Like a fish on a hook Like a knight from an old fashioned book I
have saved all my ribbons with thee



And if I have been unkind I hope that you will just let it go by And 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 By all I have done wrong I'll make it all up to
you



I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch He called out to me " Don't ask for
so much " And a young man leaning on his darkened door He cried out to me " Hey,
why not ask for more "



Like a bird on a wire Like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way
to be free
