What poet/songwriter wrote these words?

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 have been unkind I hope that you can just let it go by If I have been untrue I hope you know it was never to you
