Rufus Wainwright Hallelujah

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 thisThe fourth, the fifthThe minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing
HallelujahHallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, Hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof Her beautyin the moonlightoverthrew you
She tied youTo a kitchen chair She broke your throne, she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Chorus : Hallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, Hallelujah
Maybe I've been here beforeI know this room,
I've walked this floorI used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble archlove is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken HallelujahHallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
There was a time you'd let me know
What's real and going on below But now you never show it to me do you?
Remember when I moved in you?The holy dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
Hallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, Hallelujah
Maybe there's a God aboveAnd all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It's not a cry you can hear at nightIt's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
Hallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, Hallelujah
Love this song
