Hallelujah - Allison Crowe

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 fall, the major lift

The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Well, 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, she cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Well baby, I've been here before

I've seen this room and I've walked this floor

I used to live alone before I knew you

But I've seen your flag on the marble arch

And love is not a victory march

It's a cold and it is a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Well, there was a time when you'd let me know

What's really going on below

But now you never show that to me, do you?

But remember when I moved in you

And the Holy Ghost was moving too

And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Well, maybe there is a God above

But all that I've ever learned from love

Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you

It's not a cry that you hear at night

And it is not somebody who has seen the light

It's a cold and it is a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
