Cohen's Bird On A Wire by Neville Bros

Like a (1)________ on the wire,
Like a (2)__________ in a midnight choir
I have (3)__________ in my way to be free.
Like a (4)________ on a hook,
Like a knight from (5)________ old fashioned book
I have (6)__________ all my ribbons for thee.
If I, if I have been unkind,
I (7)________ that you can just let it go by.
If I, if I have been untrue
I (8)________ you know it was never to you.

Like a baby, stillborn,
Like a beast (9)________ his horn
I (10)________ (11)________ everyone who reached out for me.
But I (12)__________ by this song
And by all (13)________ I have done wrong
I (14)________ (15)________ it all up to thee.
I saw a (16)____________ leaning on his wooden crutch,
He (17)________ to me, "You must not ask for so much."
And a (18)____________ (19)__________ (20)______________ 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 (21)________ tried in my way to be free.
