Hallelujah
Kathryn Williams
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 chord and 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 cut your hair.
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Baby, I've been here before
I know this room and I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch,
Love's not a victory march,
It's a cold, it's a broken Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
There was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you,
Holy dove was moving too,
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
