Bird on the Wire - Live in Dublin

Like a bird on a wire
 ♪
 I have tried in my way to be free
 ♪
 like a worm on the like a knight from some old-fashioned book
 I have saved all my ribbons for 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 babe stillborn
 like a beast with his horn
 I have torn everyone who reached out for me
 ♪
 but I swear by this song
 and by all that I have done wrong
 I will make it all up to thee
 I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
 
 he said to me "you must not ask for so much"
 ♪
 and the pretty woman leaning in her darkened door
 
 she cried to me "hey, why not ask for more?"
 ♪
 like a bird on the wire
 ♪
 I have tried in my way to be free
