Like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
Like a worm on a hook
Like a knight penned down in some old fashioned book
It was the shape, the shape of an old love that twisted me
If I have been unkind, if I have been unkind
I hope that you can find a way to let all go right on by
If I have been untrue, if I have been untrue
It's just, I thought a lover had to be some kind of liar too
Like a little baby, stillborn
Like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone who reached out for me
But I swear by this song
I swear by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee
I say, don't cry, oh, don't cry, don't cry anymore
It's over now, it's done, it has been paid for
I say, don't cry, don't cry, you were always the one
Yeah, it was you that this longing was made for
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
Like a worm on a hook
Like a knight penned down in some old fashioned book
It was the shape, the shape of an old love that twisted me
If I have been unkind, if I have been unkind
I hope that you can find a way to let all go right on by
If I have been untrue, if I have been untrue
It's just, I thought a lover had to be some kind of liar too
Like a little baby, stillborn
Like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone who reached out for me
But I swear by this song
I swear by all that I have done wrong
I will make it all up to thee
I say, don't cry, oh, don't cry, don't cry anymore
It's over now, it's done, it has been paid for
I say, don't cry, don't cry, you were always the one
Yeah, it was you that this longing was made for
