Hallelujah Songtext
von Jeff Buckley

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 ya
And 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

Maybe I've been here before
I′ve seen this room, and I've walked this floor
I used to live with Leonard before I knew ya
And he's seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not a victory march
Says, "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 that to me, do ya?
Well, remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath you drew was hallelujah


Hallelujah
(Hallelujah)
(Hallelujah)
(Hallelujah)
(Hallelujah)
(Hallelujah)
(Hallelujah)

Oh, maybe there is a God above
But all I′ve ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
Well, it's not a cry that you 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
Halle-

It's not what you′re told, it′s not her face
It's not his touch, in the room you both share
What is gone, one he loved
When your time and your memory fills your dreams
When you′re honest and together
Together no more, no more

Hallelujah, until you're nothing
Hallelujah, baby, until she′s everywhere
Hallelujah, until together, you are somewhere I'd lost

Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Bonne nuit, bonne nuit
I love you, I love you
We love you
Thank you
