[00:16.22].
[00:51.35]Like a bird on the wire,
[00:58.07]like a drunk in a midnight choir
[01:05.06]I have tried in my way to be free.
[01:16.11]
[01:18.30]Like a worm on a hook,
[01:24.72]like a knight from some old fashioned book
[01:31.53]I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
[01:45.81]If I, if I have been unkind,
[01:55.55]I hope that you can just let it go by.
[02:12.46]If I, if I have been untrue
[02:25.50]I hope you know it was never to you.
[02:37.48]
[02:40.54]Like a baby, stillborn,
[02:47.54]like a beast with his horn
[02:52.64]I have torn everyone who reached out for me.
[03:05.99]But I swear by this song
[03:13.18]and by all that I have done wrong
[03:20.29]I will make it all up to thee.
[03:34.33]I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch,
[03:46.62]he said to me, "You must not ask for so much."
[04:02.34]And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,
[04:13.83]she cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"
[04:25.63].
[04:27.50]Oh like a bird on the wire,
[04:34.23]like a drunk in a midnight choir
[04:40.47]I have tried in my way to be free.
[04:50.39].
