Like a bird on the wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
Like a fish on a hook, (1)________ a drunkard in a (2)________________ choir
I have saved all my ribbons for thee.
If I, if I have been untrue, I hope that you can just let it go by

Like a bird – free
Like a baby, stillborn, like a beast with his horn

But I swear by this song and by all that I have (7)________ wrong
I will (8)________ it all up to thee.
Don’t cry no more – Don´t cry … Like a bird – (9)________ . . .
