Hallelujah |
|
Leonard Cohen |
|
The Essential Leonard Cohen |
|
Now 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 |
|
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 |
|
She tied you |
|
To a kitchen chair |
|
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair |
|
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
You say I took the name in vain |
|
I don't even know the name |
|
But if I did, well really, what's it to you? |
|
There's a blaze of light |
|
In every word |
|
It doesn't matter which you heard |
|
The holy or the broken Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
I did my best, it wasn't much |
|
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch |
|
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you |
|
And even though |
|
It all went wrong |
|
I'll stand before the Lord of Song |
|
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah |
