Cohen's Bird On A Wire by Neville Bros

Like a bird on the wire,
Like a drunk in a (1)________________ choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
Like a (2)________ on a hook,
Like a knight from some old fashioned book
I (3)________ saved all my ribbons for thee.
If I, if I have (4)________ unkind,
I hope that 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 (5)________ his horn
I have (6)________ everyone who (7)______________ out for me.
But I (8)__________ 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 woman leaning in her darkened door,
She cried to me, "Hey, why not ask for more?"

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