Hallelujah Lyrics - John Cale

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 

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 a kitchen chair 

She broke your throne, 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 

I've walked this floor 

I used to live alone before I knew you 

I've seen your flag on the Marble Arch 

Love is not a victory march 

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah 

There was a time you let me know 

What's really going on below 

But now you never show it to me, do you? 

I remember when I moved in you 

And the holy dove was moving too 

And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah 

Maybe there's a God above, all I ever learned from love 

Was how to shoot at someone who out drew you 

And it's not a cry 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 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah...
