sonnerie téléphone portable pour Bird on the wire

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 from some old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons for thee.

And if i, if i have been unkind,
I hope that you can just let it go by.
If i, 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
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,
And he said to me, "you must not ask for so much."
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door,
She cried to me, "why not ask for more?"

Like a bird on the wire,
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
I have tried in my way to be free.
