Bird On a Wire (Live Acoustic from the 2019 Greatest Hits Tour - Dubbo NSW)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 in some old-fashion book I have saved all my ribbons for thee [Chorus] And if I, if I have been unkind And I hope you will let it go by And if I, if I have been untrue Then, I hope you know it was never to you [Verse 2] Like a baby, stillborn Like a beast with it's horns I have torn everyone who reached out to me, oh, yeah But I swear by this song and by all that I have done wrong I'll make it all up to thee [Chorus] Oh, yeah, I saw a young man leaning on his wooden crutch He called out to me, "Don't ask for so much" And a young woman leaning in her darkened door She cried out to me, "Why not ask for more?" [Outro] Like a bird on a wire Like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free
