Hallelujah - Live in London

Leonard Cohen
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 her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Now Maybe there is a God above
As For me, I've ever learned from love
Is how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
And it's not a cry that you hear tonight
It's not a pilgrim who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a very broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Baby I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
You see, I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
But they say love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a very broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now, you now never show that to me, do you?
I remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove she was moving too
And every single breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I've done my best
I couldn't feel I learned to trust
I told the truth, I didn't come to London just to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand right here before the Lord of song
With nothing..nothing on my tongue but hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
