Cohen's Bird On A Wire by Neville Bros
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 (1)________ old fashioned book
I (2)________ 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 (3)________ 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 (4)________ done wrong
I will make it all up to thee.
I saw a (5)____________ leaning on his wooden crutch,
He (6)________ to me, "You must not ask for so much."
And a (7)____________ woman leaning in her (8)________________ door,
She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"
Oh (9)________ a bird on the wire,
Like a drunk in a (10)________________ choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
