Rufus Wainwright : Hallelujah

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
well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth

the minor fall and the major lift
the baffled king composing hallelujah

hallelujah... hallelujah... hallelujah... hallelujah...
well 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 she 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

but love is not a victory march
it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

hallelujah... hallelujah... hallelujah... hallelujah...
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

but remember when i moved in you
and the holy dove was moving too

and every breath we drew was hallelujah
hallelujah... hallelujah... hallelujah... hallelujah...

well, maybe there's a god above
but all i've ever learned from love

was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
it's not a cry that you can hear at night

it's not somebody who's seen the light
it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

hallelujah... hallelujah... hallelujah... hallelujah...
