Paroles officielles de la chanson «Bird On A Wire» : Johnny R. Cash

Paroles officielles de la chanson "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 in some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee
And if I, if I have been unkind
I just hope you will let it go by
And if I, if I have been untrue
I just hope you know it was never to you
Like a baby still born, like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone who reached out to me
But I swear by this song, by all I have done wrong
I'll make it all up to thee
I saw a young man leaning on his wooden crutch
And he called out to me, "Don't ask for so much"
And a young woman leaning in her darkened door
And she called 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 free
