Lyrics of Hallelujah - Live at Olympia, Paris, France - July 1995 by Jeff Buckley
verse
I heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
verse
Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
chorus
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
verse
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
verse
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips, she drew the Hallelujah
chorus
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
verse
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
verse
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
And Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
chorus
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
verse
Well, there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me, do you?
verse
But remember, when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath, we drew was Hallelujah
chorus
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
verse
Maybe there's a God above
But, all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you?
verse
And it's not a 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
chorus
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Writer(s): Leonard Cohen, Noam Peled
