[00:00.69]Like a bird on the wire
[00:07.85]
[00:10.78]Like a drunk in a midnight choir
[00:14.80]
[00:17.62]I have tried in my way tried to be free
[00:24.72]
[00:30.82]Like a worm on a hook
[00:34.72]
[00:37.29]Like a knight from some old fashioned book
[00:41.75]
[00:43.80]I have saved all my ribbons for thee
[00:51.15]
[00:58.38]If I if I have been unkind
[01:02.82]
[01:09.97]I hope that you can just let it go by
[01:15.14]
[01:21.84]If I if I have been untrue
[01:26.71]
[01:31.66]I hope you know it was never to you
[01:40.09]
[01:45.96]Like a baby stillborn
[01:51.51]
[01:54.65]Like a beast with his horn
[01:58.28]
[02:00.87]I have torn everyone who reached out for me
[02:08.32]
[02:14.35]But I swear by this song
[02:17.74]
[02:20.48]And by all that I have done wrong
[02:24.30]
[02:28.54]I will make it all up to thee
[02:33.71]
[02:40.55]I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
[02:46.96]
[02:52.64]He said to me You must not ask for so much
[02:58.12]
[03:03.73]And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door
[03:09.52]
[03:15.22]She cried to me
[03:17.05]Hey hey why not ask for more
[03:20.14]
[03:27.19]Like a bird on the wire
[03:34.67]
[03:37.22]Like a drunk in a midnight choir
[03:40.93]
[03:43.65]I have tried in my way to be free
