Cohen's Bird On A Wire by Neville Bros

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

Like a baby, stillborn,
Like a (9)__________ (10)________ his horn
I (11)________ torn (12)________________ who (13)______________ out for me.
But I (14)__________ by (15)________ song
And by all that I (16)________ (17)________ wrong
I (18)________ make it all up to thee.
I saw a (19)____________ (20)______________ on his wooden crutch,
He said to me, "You must not ask for so much."
And a pretty woman (21)______________ in her darkened door,
She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"

Oh like a (22)________ on the wire,
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
