Bird On A Wire

(albüm: Brother's Keeper - 1990)

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 some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee

If I have been unkind
I hope that you can just let, let it go by
If I have been untrue
I hope you know it was never to you

Like a bird, free as a bird, free
Like a baby stillborn
Like a beast with his horn

I have torn every one 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

Don't cry no more, don't cry
It's completed, oh it's finished
It's been paid for

Like a bird, free as a bird, free
Like a bird, free as a bird, free
Like a bird, free on a wire, free
Like a bird free, free, free
