BIRD ON A WIRE lyrics

Artist  : JOHNNY CASH 
Song : BIRD ON A WIRE
 



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
