Hallelujah
Lyrics
Now 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 and 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 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
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
