Hallelujah
|
I heard there was a secret chord
|
that David played and it pleased the Lord
|
But you don't really care for music, do you?
|
Well it goes like this:
|
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
|
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
|
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
|
|
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
|
You saw her bathing on the roof
|
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
|
And she tied you to her kitchen chair
|
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
|
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
|
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
|
|
Well, maybe I've been here before
|
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
|
I used to live with alone before I knew ya
|
And he¡¯s seen your flag on the marble arch
|
But love is not a victory march
|
Says 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 that to me do ya
|
Well remember when I moved in you
|
And the holy dove was moving too
|
And every breath you drew was Hallelujah
|
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
|
|
Well maybe there's a God above
|
But all I've ever learned from love
|
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
|
Well it's not a cry that you hear at night
|
It's not somebody who's seen the light
|
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
|
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Halle...
|
It's not what you're told
|
It's not her face
|
It's not his touch
|
In the room you both share
|
When he's gone when he left
|
When your time and your memory fills your dreams
|
When you're honest and together
|
Together no more
|
No more
|
Hallelujah, until you're nothing
|
Hallelujah, baby, until she's everywhere
|
Hallelujah, until together you are somewhere I'd lost
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
