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 "
