Like a bird on a wire

featuring Australian Grey Butcherbird

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.
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.

A butcherbird per Lynn. Interesting hook on the beak. Great dof here and wonderful for the song title.

One of my favorite songs, and a great picture of the Australian Grey Butcherbird. Our Butcherbirds look very different from this fellow. V

Such an interesting bird! The large beak reminds me of a woodpecker's beak. :)
