Hallelujah - I Know It's Over Lyrics - 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... 

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 

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 

Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head 

And as I climb into an empty bed - oh well, enough said 

I know it's over still I cling, I don't know where else I can go, over and over... 

Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head 

See the sea it wants to take me, the knife wants to slit (cut) me 

Do you think you can help me? 

Sad veiled bride please be happy - handsome groom give her room 

Loud loutish lover treat her kindly though she needs you 

More than she loves you - and I know it's over - still I cling 

I don't know where else I can go - over and over..... 

Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head 

Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head 

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...
