The Neville Brothers - Bird on a Wire

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 some old fashioned book

I have saved all my ribbon for thee



If I have been unkind

I hope that you will can just let let it go by

If I have been untrue

I hope you know it was never to you



Like a bird, there's a bird free



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 and by all that I have done wrong

I will make it all up to thee



Don't cry, no more, don't cry

It's completed, oh it's finished

It's been faithful



Like a bird, there's a bird free

Like a bird, there's a bird free



Like a bird, there's a bird free

Like a bird, there's a bird free



Like a bird on a on a wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir

Don't cry, don't cry

Like a bird free, like a bird free
