Текст песни Bird On A Wire (feat. Jimmy Barnes) - Troy Cassar-Daley

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
And if I, if I have been unkind
Then I hope you
(I hope you)
Will let it go by
(Let it go by)
And if I, if I have been untrue
Then I hope you know
(I hope you know)
It was never to you
(It was never to you)
Like a baby still born
Like a beast with it's horns
I have torn everyone
That reached out to me
Oh yeah
But I swear
(I swear)
By this song and by all I have done wrong
I'll make it all up to thee
Saw a young man leaning on his wooden crutch
He called out to me
(Calling out to me)
Don't ask for so much
(Don't ask for so much)
I saw a young woman leaning in her darkened door
She cried out to me
(Crying out to me)
Why not ask for more
(Why not ask for some more)
Like a bird on a wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
