|
I remember how we met |
|
but your name I forget |
|
like the door that I have kept unopened |
|
I remember it was wet |
|
and the swelter and the sweat |
|
and the shelter of the bed we were cloaked in |
|
You were stroking me like a pet |
|
but you didn't own me yet |
|
and the tape in the cassette deck was choking |
|
Spat out a broken hallelujah |
|
But I've seen the way the earth |
|
throws its aces with a curve |
|
You were waiting for the words |
|
to come to yer. |
|
Just to say that you prefer to be lonely |
|
to be cursed |
|
and to do the very worst you can do. |
|
Yeah I remember you like a verse |
|
that I didn't want to learn |
|
I just looked into your eyes |
|
and I knew yer. |
|
Now the thought of you is burnt |
|
on my body from the first time you did rewind that line from Hallelujah. |
|
The original Leonard Cohen version. |
|
Well I wish I never met you that day |
|
You said I have a room and music to play |
|
I have a room let me show you the way |
|
I wish that I'd never come |
|
But now that I have, I would do it again |
|
I would forget like I'd piss on a grave |
|
I would forget like I'd piss on a grave |
|
that the words as they came to my tongue were hallelujah. Hallelujah! |
|
And the sky was so much bluer |
|
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! |
|
And the world was so much newer. |
|
You said I have a room |
|
at the top of the stairs |
|
I have a room with a view |
|
I know we all have a cross that we bear |
|
and I'd like to show it to you. |
|
And you left me in the light |
|
and you met me in the light |
|
and we only had a night between the two. |
|
You were waiting for the worst |
|
You were listening for a curse |
|
but the only thing I heard was hallelujah. |
|
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! |
|
And the sky was so much bluer |
|
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! |
|
And the world was so much newer. |
|
you said I have a room |
|
at the top of the stairs. |
|
I have a room with a view. |
|
I know we all have a cross that we bear |
|
and I'd like to give it to you. |
|
And I won't forget how the sky was set |
|
I said I have a place to go back to. |
|
La La La I will have you yet |
|
I will carry you there if I have to. |
|
No I won't forget no I won't. |
|
No I won't forget no I won't |
|
No I won't forget no I won't |
|
No I won't forget no. |
|
Woah. Woah. Woah. W-o-o-o-ah. |
|
First love. |
