Bird On A Wire
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 from an old fashioned book I have saved all my ribbons with 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 baby stillborn Like a beast with his horn I have torn everyone who reached out for me But I swear by this song By all I have done wrong I'll make it all up to you I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch He called out to me " Don't ask for so much " And a young man leaning on his darkened door He cried 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 free1994 90s :: sunday shares from jdj Alt-country americana awesum bed bird songs birds cash cohen cover cohens covers country cover covers Declarations folk H5N1 Johnny Cash leonard cohen Leonard Cohen cover like it male melancholy Mellow now playing singer-songwriter USA
