Cohen's Bird On A Wire by Neville Bros

Like a bird on the wire,
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I (1)________ tried in my way to be free.
Like a worm on a hook,
Like a knight from some old fashioned book
I (2)________ saved all my ribbons for thee.
If I, if I have been unkind,
I (3)________ that you can (4)________ let it go by.
If I, if I have been untrue
I hope you (5)________ it was never to you.

Like a baby, stillborn,
Like a beast with his horn
I have torn (6)________________ who reached out for me.
But I swear by this song
And by all that I have done wrong
I will (7)________ it all up to thee.
I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch,
He (8)________ to me, "You must not ask for so much."
And a (9)____________ 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 drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
