[00:37.08]Like a bird on a wire
[00:43.05]Like a drunk in a midnight choir
[00:48.81]I have tried in my way to be free
[00:56.88]Like a worm on a hook
[01:07.35]Like a knight from some old fashioned book
[01:13.53]I have saved all my ribbons for thee
[01:31.53]And if I have been unkind
[01:37.77]I hope you can just let it go by
[01:43.59]And if I have been untrue
[02:01.65]I hope you know it was never to you
[02:13.23]Like a baby stillborn
[02:19.20]Like a beast with his horns
[02:25.20]I have torn everyone who reached out for me
[03:08.01]if I have been so unkind
[03:08.55]I hope you can just let it go by
[03:18.45]if I have been untrue
[03:36.15]I hope you know it was never to you
[03:47.28]But I swear by this song
[03:51.39]And by all that I have done wrong
[03:59.55]I will make it all up to thee
[04:10.98]Like a bird on a wire
[04:17.46]Like a drunk in a midnight choir
[04:23.25]I have tried in my way to be free
[04:30.39]To be free
[04:35.88]I have tried in my own way to be free

Like a bird on a wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
Like a worm on a hook
Like a knight from some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee
And if I have been unkind
I hope you can 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 horns
I have torn everyone who reached out for me
if I have been so unkind
I hope you can just let it go by
if I have been untrue
I hope you know it was never to you
But I swear by this song
And by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee
Like a bird on a wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
To be free
I have tried in my own way to be free
