jeff buckley - hallelujah

whenever I try to write about this song, something just stops me. because it is simply too beautiful. and even though words are generous and alive, I just have to refrain from trying to ruin it, by speaking about it and I always end up listening to it over and over, \" baffled\" by it\'s immense warmth... and I feel overwhelmed and sad and happy... and alive.

yes and I forgot to mention that the song was written by Leonard Cohen. This is Jeff Buckley\'s version.

Lyrics :

Well I heard there was a secret chord

That David played, and it pleased the Lord

But you don\'t really care for music, do ya?

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 you

she tied you to her kitchen chair

And she broke your throne and she cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Well baby I\'ve been here before

I\'ve seen this room and I\'ve walked this floor

I used to live alone before I knew ya

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

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?

And remember when I moved in you?

And the holy dove was moving too

And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Well maybe there\'s a God above

But all I\'ve ever learned from love

Was how to shoot somebody who\'d OUT DREW YA

And 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

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah
