Hallelujah

Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley

But you don't really care for music, do you?
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 you.

She tied you to her kitchen chair

Well, she broke your throne, and she cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah,

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Baby, I've been here before.

I’ve seen this room. And I've walked this floor.

(You know) I used to live alone before I knew you.

And I've seen your flag on the marble arch,

But love is not a victory march,

it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah,

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Well, There was a time when you let me know

What's really going on below

But now you never show that to me, do you?

But remember when I moved in you,

And the holy dove was moving too

And every breath we drew was Hallelujah,

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Well maybe there's a God above

But all I ever learned from love

was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you.

And it's not a cry that you hear at night,

And 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, Hallelujah,Hallelujah,

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,Hallelujah
