Well I heard there was a sacred cord 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 Hallelu-u-u-jah
Well Your faith was strong But you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you And 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 Hallelu-u-u-jah
Yeah well baby I've been here before I've seen 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 And love is not some victory march It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
Well there was a time When you let me know What's really going on below Yeah but now you never show that to me do you? Remember when I moved in you And the holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above If at all I've ever learned from love Was how to shoot somebody who out drew you It's not some 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
