Bird on a Wire Songtext
von Jimmy Barnes

Like a bird on a wire
I have tried in my way to be free

Like a fish on a hook
Like a line in some old fashion book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee

And if I, if I have been unkind
I just hope you
(I hope you)
Will let it go by
(Let it go by)
And if I, if I have been untrue
I just hope you know
(I hope you know)
It was never to you
(It was never to you)


Like a baby still born
Like a beast with it′s horns
I have torn everyone
That reached out to me
But I swear
(I swear)
By this song and by all I have done wrong
I'll make it all up to thee

Saw a young man leaning on his wooden crutch
He called out to me
(Calling out to me)
Don′t ask for so much
(Don't ask for so much)
And a young woman leaning in her darkened door
She cried out to me
(Crying out to me)
Why not ask for more
(Why not ask for more)

Like a bird on a wire
I have tried in my way to be free
