Medley: Hallelujah - Last Month Of The Year (live At Palais Theatre) Lyrics

(L. Cohen/traditional)

Hallelujah was originally contained in Leonard Cohen's VARIOUS POSITIONS, while
Last Month Of The Year is a blues traditional. On the cd booklet this song is
credited only as Hallelujah.



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, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

 

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof

You saw her bathing on the roof

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrough ya

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, Hallelujah, 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 ya

I've seen your flag on the marble arch

And love is not some victory march

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah



There was a time when you let me know

What's really going on below

But now you never show that to me do ya

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 at someone who outdrew ya

And 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, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah...



[and here starts Last Month Of The Year]

Tell me what month was Jesus born in

Last month of the year

Tell me what month was Jesus born in

Last month of the year

Got January, January, March oh Lord

Got April, May and June Lord

You got July oh yeah

September, October and November

Got the twenty fifty

December is the last month of the year



What month was Jesus born in 

Last month of the year

What month was Jesus born in 

Last month of the year

Got January, February, March oh Lord

Got April, May and June Lord

You got July oh but

September, October and November

Got the twenty fifty

December is the last month of the year
