Cohen's Bird On A Wire by Neville Bros

Like a bird on the wire,
Like a (1)__________ 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 (2)________ untrue
I (3)________ you know it was never to you.

Like a baby, stillborn,
Like a (4)__________ with his horn
I have torn (5)________________ 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,
He (6)________ to me, "You (7)________ not ask for so much."
And a pretty woman leaning in her (8)________________ door,
She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"

Oh like a bird on the wire,
Like a (9)__________ in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
