Hallelujah
Rufus Wainwright
Intro : 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 [Refrain :] Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Halleluuuujah 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 [Refrain] 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 [Refrain] 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 ? Remember when I moved in you ? The holy dark was moving too And every breath we drew was hallelujah [Refrain] 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 [Refrain] (2x)
