Roof With A View. 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 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 in 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



Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah




Baby I have 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 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
The holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah


Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah






Maybe there’s a God above
But all I’ve ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It’s not a cry you can hear at night
It’s not somebody who has seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah


Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah











You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well, really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light in every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah


Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah





I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come (TO LONDON)to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah






Hallelujah, Hallelujah







Hallelujah, Hallelujah





Hallelujah, Hallelujah











Hallelujah, Hallelujah








Hallelujah, Hallelujah


Hallelujah, Hallelujah






Hallelujah, Hallelujah





Hallelujah, Hallelujah


Hallelujah, Hallelujah








Hallelujah







Hallelujah













Hallelujah
