JEFF BUCKLEY - Hallelujah - I Know It's Over lyrics

rate me

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...

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

She broke your throne and she cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the hallelujah

Hallelujah...

Baby I've been here before

I've seen this room and I've walked this floor

I used to live alone before I knew you

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...

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

Oh motherI can feel the soil falling over my head

And as I climb into an empty bed - oh wellenough said

I know it's over still I clingI don't know where else I can goover and over...

Oh motherI can feel the soil falling over my head

See the sea it wants to take methe knife wants to slit (cut) me

Do you think you can help me?

Sad veiled bride please be happy - handsome groom give her room

Loud loutish lover treat her kindly though she needs you

More than she loves you - and I know it's over - still I cling

I don't know where else I can go - over and over.....

Oh motherI can feel the soil falling over my head

Oh motherI can feel the soil falling over my head

Wellmaybe there's a God above

But all I've ever learned from love

Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you

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...
