Cohen's Bird On A Wire by Neville Bros

Like a bird on the wire,
Like a drunk in a (1)________________ 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 ribbons for thee.
If I, if I have been unkind,
I hope (4)________ you can just let it go by.
If I, if I have been untrue
I hope you know 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 have (5)________ wrong
I (6)________ make it all up to thee.
I saw a (7)____________ leaning on his wooden crutch,
He said to me, "You (8)________ not ask for so much."
And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened 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.
