Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen


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 you flag on the marble arch,
but love is not a victorymarch,
It's a clod and it's a broken 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 mooving too,
and every breath we drew was Hallelujah!

Now maybe there's a God above, 
but all I ever learned from love is how to shoot at someone who outdrew you. 
And it's no complaint you hear tonight, 
and it's not some pilgrim who's seen the light - 
It's a cold and it's a lonely Hallelujah!

I did my best: it wasn't much.
I couldn't feelm so I learned to touch.
I've told the truth, I didn't come to feel you.
And even though it all went wrong,
I'll stand before the Lord of Song with nothing on my lips but Hallelujah!
