"Halleluyah" Lyrics 2005-01-24 @ 3:47 p.m.
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 Halleluyah
Halleluyah
Halleluyah
Halleluyah
Halleluyah
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 Halleluyah
Halleluyah
Halleluyah
Halleluyah
Halleluyah
Maybe 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 Halleluyah
Halleluyah
Halleluyah
Halleluyah
Halleluyah
There was a time you 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 Halleluyah
Halleluyah
Halleluyah
Halleluyah
Halleluyah
Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
And 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 Halleluyah
Halleluyah, Halleluyah
Halleluyah, Halleluyah
Halleluyah, Halleluyah
Halleluyah, Halleluyah
- Leonard Cohen
*Jeff Buckley recently did a wonderful cover of this song that was on the Shrek soundtrack, as well as that great West Wing episode where the secret service agent that CJ is seeing gets killed. Rufus Wainwright may have done another cover too.
