Bird on the Wire - Live in London

Lyrics for Bird on the Wire - Live in London

Like a bird on a wire Like a drunk in an old midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free Like a worm on a hook Like a knight bent down in some old-fashioned book It was the shape, the shape of our love That twisted thee If I have been unkind Oh, if I have been unkind I hope you can find a way To let it all go right on by If I have been untrue If I have been untrue It's just that I thought a liar, I thought a lover Had to be some kind of liar too Bob Metzger on the guitar Dino Soldo on the saxophone Like a babe stillborn Like a beast with his horn I have torn everyone who reached out for me But I swear by this song I, I swear by all that I have done wrong I will make it all, all up to thee I saw this beggar, he was leaning on his wooden crutch He says to me "Leonard, you just can't ask for all that much" A pretty woman standing in her darkened door She cries out to me "why not ask for just a little bit more?" Like a bird on the wire Like a drunk in an old midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free
