Medley: Hallelujah / Last Month Of The Year (live At Palais Theatre) Lyrics - Jeff Buckley

(L. Cohen/traditional) 

Hallelujah was originally contained in Leonard Cohen's VARIOUS POSITIONS, while Last Month Of The Year is a blues traditional. On the cd booklet this song is credited only as 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, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah 

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof 

You saw her bathing on the roof 

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrough ya 

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 

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 

And love is not some victory march 

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 

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 at someone who outdrew 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... 

[and here starts Last Month Of The Year] 

Tell me what month was Jesus born in 

Last month of the year 

Tell me what month was Jesus born in 

Last month of the year 

Got January, January, March oh Lord 

Got April, May and June Lord 

You got July ,August 

September, October and November 

Got the twenty fifth day of 

December that is the last month of the year 

What month was Jesus born in 

Last month of the year 

What month was Jesus born in 

Last month of the year 

Got January, February, March oh Lord 

Got April, May and June Lord 

You got July, August, 

September, October and November 

Got the twenty fifth day of 

December that is the last month of the year
