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...

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...

baby i've been here before
i've seen this room and i've walked this floor
[ Jeff Buckley Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
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...

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

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

hallelujah...

re "i wonder why he didn't sing the original words":
actually, he did, they are Cohen's words. Leonard Cohen originally wrote over 80 verses for this song, settled on 15, and recorded it/performs it with about seven or eight- and not always the same seven or eight. Cohen himself has apparently never settled on a final version of the song- which is wonderful, there's so much to choose from in interpreting it. Jeff picked from original Cohen verses- he just picked the ones that meant the most to him. One of the great things about this song is that it DOES have so many potential different meanings and interpretations.

I sang this at my wifes funeral last week. It was her favorite song. She heard it on the show Criminal Minds and made me learn it. I'm glad I did. MM
