K.D. Lang - Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen) lyrics

rate me

I heard there was a secret chord<br />

That David played, and it pleased the Lord<br />

You don't really care for music, do ya?<br />

Well it goes like this<br />

The fourth, the fifth<br />

The minor fall, the major lift<br />

The baffled king composing Hallelujah<br />

<br />

Hallelujah, Hallelujah<br />

Hallelujah, Hallelujah<br />

<br />

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof<br />

You saw her bathing on the roof<br />

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya<br />

Well she tied you to her kitchen chair<br />

She broke your throne and cut your hair<br />

And from your lips she drew Hallelujah<br />

<br />

Hallelujah, Hallelujah<br />

Hallelujah, Hallelujah<br />

<br />

Baby I've been here before<br />

I've seen this room and I've walked the floor<br />

Used to live alone before I knew ya<br />

But I've seen your flag on the marble arch<br />

Our love is not a victory march<br />

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah<br />

<br />

Hallelujah, Hallelujah<br />

Hallelujah, Hallelujah<br />

<br />

Maybe there's a God above<br />

But all I've ever learned from love<br />

Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya<br />

It's not a cry that you hear at night<br />

It's not someone who's seen the light<br />

It's a cold and broken Hallelujah<br />

<br />

Hallelujah, Hallelujah<br />

Hallelujah, Hallelujah...
