Cohen's Bird On A Wire by Neville Bros

Like a bird on the wire,
Like a (1)__________ in a midnight choir
I have (2)__________ in my way to be free.
Like a (3)________ on a hook,
Like a knight from some old fashioned book
I have saved all my (4)______________ for thee.
If I, if I have been unkind,
I (5)________ that you can just let it go by.
If I, if I have been untrue
I (6)________ you know it was never to you.

Like a baby, stillborn,
Like a beast (7)________ his horn
I have (8)________ everyone 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 said to me, "You must not ask for so much."
And a pretty (9)__________ leaning in her darkened door,
She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"

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