Buckley Jeff Hallelujah Lyrics

Hallelujah Lyrics

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

 

 well, maybe 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...
