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 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 "
Like a bird on a wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
Unchained
I have been ungrateful
And I have been unwise
Restless from the cradle
But now I realize
It's so hard to see the rainbow
Through glasses dark as these
Maybe I'll be able
From down on my knees
Oh I am weak
Oh I know I am vain
Take this weight from me
Let my spirit be unchained
Old man swearin' at the sidewalk
And I am overcome
Seems that we've both forgotten
Forgotten to go home
Have I seen an angel
Or have I seen a ghost
Where's that rock of ages
When you need it most
It's so hard to see the rainbow
Through glasses dark as these
Maybe I'll be able
From down on my knees
Strashno koliko je Cash jak tekstopisac,zaista.
