Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen)

 

 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, she cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

 

 Hallelujah, Hallelujah 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah 

 

Maybe I've 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'd let me know

 What's real and going on below 

But now you never show it to me do you?

 And remember when I moved in you?

 The holy dark was moving too 

And every breath we drew was Hallelujah 

 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah 

 

Maybe there's a God above 

And all I 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's seen the light

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

 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
