Like a Dbird on a Awire, like a druF#mnk in a midnight choGir
I have Dtried in my Away to be Dfree
Like a Dfish on a Ahook, like a F#mknight from some old-fashioned bGook
I have sDaved all my Aribbons for Dthee
GIf I, if I have been unDkind
EmI hope that you can just let it go Dby
G If I, if I have been untrDue,
Em I hope you know it was never to yAou.
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 and by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee.
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
He said to me, "You must not ask for so much."
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,
She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"
Like a bDird on the wAire, like a drF#munk in a midnight Gchoir
I have trDied in my wAay to be Gfree D
