Lyrics

[ti:HallelujaH]
[00:04.21] Jeff BuckleY
[01:00.122] Well I heard there was a secret chord
[01:03.541] That David played,and it pleased the Lord
[01:07.139] But you don't really care for music,do ya
[01:13.864] Well it goes like this
[01:15.699] The fourth,the fifth
[01:17.485] The minor fall and the major lift
[01:21.00] The baffled king composing Hallelujah
[01:27.219] Hallelujah
[01:49.277] Well Your faith was strong but you needed proof
[01:52.531] You saw her bathing on the roof
[01:55.853] Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
[02:03.392] she tied you to her kitchen chair
[02:06.595] And she broke your throne and she cut your hair
[02:10.363] And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
[02:39.517] Well baby I've been here before
[02:42.293] I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
[02:45.931] I used to live alone before I knew ya
[02:53.742] I've seen your flag on the marble arch
[02:56.755] Love is not a victory march
[03:00.123] It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
[03:29.242] Well there was a time when you let me know
[03:32.309] What's really going on below
[03:35.792] But now you never show that to me do you
[03:43.218] And remember when I moved in you?
[03:46.341] And the holy dove was moving too
[03:49.981] And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
[04:31.639] Well maybe there's a God above
[05:03.666] But all I've ever learned from love
[05:07.300] Was how to shoot somebody who'd OUT DREW YA
[05:14.122] And it's not a cry that you hear at night
[05:19.58] It's not somebody who's seen the light
