MiscellaneousBird On A Wire (Live With Orchestra) lyrics by Johnny Cash
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 fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee
And if I, if I have been unkind
I just hope you will let it go by
And if I, if I have been untrue
I just hope you know it was never to you
Like a baby still born
Like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone
Who reached out to me
But I swear by this song
And by all that I have done wrong
I'll make it all up to thee
I saw a young man leaning on his wooden crutch
And he called out to me, "Don't ask for so much"
And a young woman leaning in her darkened door
And she called 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
