Leonard Cohen — Hallelujah Live in London

[Verse 1] 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 fall, the major lift The baffled king composing "Hallelujah" [Chorus] Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah [Verse 2] 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 and she cut your hair And from your lips, she drew the Hallelujah [Chorus] Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah [Verse 3] Now, maybe there's a God above As for me, all I ever heard from love Is how to shoot at someone who outdrew you But it's not a crime that you hear tonight It's not some pilgrim who claims to have seen the light, no It's a cold, and it's a very broken Hallelujah [Chorus] Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah [Verse 4] Oh people, I have been here before I know this room, and I've walked this floor You see, I used to live alone before I knew you And I've seen your flag on the marble arch But this isn't love, love is not some kind of victory march, no It's a cold, and it's a very lonely Hallelujah [Chorus] Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah [Verse 5] There was a time you let me know What's really going on below But now, now you never even show it to me, do you? I remember when I moved in you And the holy dove, she was movin' too And every single breath we drew was Hallelujah [Chorus] Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah [Verse 6] I've done my best, it wasn't much I couldn't feel, so I learned to touch I've told the truth, I didn't come here to London just to fool you And even though hurt, it all went wrong I'll stand right here, before the Lord of Song With nothin', nothin' on my tongue but Hallelujah [Chorus] Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
