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 (1)____________ 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 (2)________ 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 (3)________ his horn
I have torn everyone who reached out for me.
But I (4)__________ by (5)________ 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 must not ask for so much."
And a pretty (7)__________ leaning in her (8)________________ door,
She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"

Oh like a (9)________ on the wire,
Like a drunk in a (10)________________ choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
