hallelujah

baby I have been here before

I know this room, I've walked this floor

I used to live alone before I knew you.

I've seen your flag on the marble arch

but listen love is not a victory march

it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

there was a time you let me know

what's really going on below

but now you never show it to me, do you?

and  I remember when I moved in you

and the holy dove was moving too

and every breath we drew was hallelujah

 

maybe there is a god above

as for me all I ever seem to learn from love

is how to shoot at someone who outdrew you

but its not a complain that you re here tonight

it's not the laughter of someone

who claimed to have seen the light

no it's a cold and it's a very lonely 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 right here before the lord of song

with nothing on my tongue but 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
