Bird On a Wire (Live Acoustic from the 2019 Greatest Hits Tour - Dubbo NSW) Lyrics by Troy Cassar-Daley

50 Songs 50 Towns, Vol. 2

2022

[Verse 1]
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-fashion book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee
[Chorus]
And if I, if I have been unkind
And I hope you will let it go by
And if I, if I have been untrue
Then, I hope you know it was never to you
[Verse 2]
Like a baby, stillborn
Like a beast with it’s horns
I have torn everyone who reached out to me, oh, yeah
But I swear by this song and by all that I have done wrong
I’ll make it all up to thee
[Chorus]
Oh, yeah, I saw a young man leaning on his wooden crutch
He called out to me, "Don’t ask for so much"
And a young woman leaning in her darkened door
She cried out to me, "Why not ask for more?"
[Outro]
Like a bird on a wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
