|
Hallelujah" |
|
I've heard there was a secret chord |
|
That David played, and it pleased the Lord |
|
But you don't really care for music, do you? |
|
It goes like this |
|
The fourth, the fifth |
|
The minor fall, the major lift |
|
The baffled king composing Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
Your faith was strong but you needed proof |
|
You saw her bathing on the roof |
|
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you |
|
She tied you to a kitchen chair |
|
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair |
|
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
Baby I have been here before |
|
I know this room, I've walked this floor |
|
I used to live alone before I knew you. |
|
I've seen your flag on the marble arch |
|
Love is not a victory march |
|
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
There was a time when you let me know |
|
What's really going on below |
|
But now you never show it to me, do you? |
|
And remember when I moved in you |
|
The holy dove was moving too |
|
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
Maybe there's a God above |
|
But all I've ever learned from love |
|
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you |
|
It's not a cry you can hear at night |
|
It's not somebody who has seen the light |
|
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
You say I took the name in vain |
|
I don't even know the name |
|
But if I did, well really, what's it to you? |
|
There's a blaze of light in every word |
|
It doesn't matter which you heard |
|
The holy or the broken Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
I did my best, it wasn't much |
|
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch |
|
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you |
|
And even though it all went wrong |
|
I'll stand before the Lord of Song |
|
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah |
