Like a bird on a wire
Like a drunk in an old midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
Like a worm on a hook
Like a knight bent down in some old-fashioned book
It was the shape, the shape of our love
That twisted thee
If I have been unkind
Oh, if I have been unkind
I hope you can find a way
To let it all go right on by
If I have been untrue
If I have been untrue
It's just that I thought a liar, I thought a lover
Had to be some kind of liar too
Bob Metzger on the guitar
Dino Soldo on the saxophone
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
I, I swear by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all, all up to thee
I saw this beggar, he was leaning on his wooden crutch
He says to me "Leonard, you just can't ask for all that much"
A pretty woman standing in her darkened door
She cries out to me "why not ask for just a little bit more?"
Like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in an old midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
Like a drunk in an old midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
Like a worm on a hook
Like a knight bent down in some old-fashioned book
It was the shape, the shape of our love
That twisted thee
If I have been unkind
Oh, if I have been unkind
I hope you can find a way
To let it all go right on by
If I have been untrue
If I have been untrue
It's just that I thought a liar, I thought a lover
Had to be some kind of liar too
Bob Metzger on the guitar
Dino Soldo on the saxophone
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
I, I swear by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all, all up to thee
I saw this beggar, he was leaning on his wooden crutch
He says to me "Leonard, you just can't ask for all that much"
A pretty woman standing in her darkened door
She cries out to me "why not ask for just a little bit more?"
Like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in an old midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
