Hallelujah Lyrics

Hallelujah lyrics

(Leonard Cohen)



Well 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?



Well it goes like this

The fourth, the fifth

The minor chord and the major lift.

The baffled king composing Hallelujah.



Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah



Your faith was strong but you needed proof

You saw her bathing on the roof

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you



And she tied you

To her kitchen chair,

Broke your throne, and cut your hair.

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah .



Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah



Baby, I've been here before

I know this room and I've walked this floor

You know, I used to live alone before I knew you



And I've seen your flag on the marble arch,

Love's not some kind of victory march,

It's a cold and 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 it to me, do you?



But I remember when I moved in you,

Holy dove was moving too,

And every breath we drew was Hallelujah.



Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah



Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
