Leonard Cohen : Hallelujah Lyrics

Songwriters: Cohen, Leonard;

. Send "Hallelujah" Ringtone to your Cell .

Now, I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

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 a kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light in every word
It doesn't matter which are heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
...

****, the last two verses aren't even in the song. Along with what I posted earlier, this the actual wording:
There was a time when you let me know what's really going on below/ But now you never show it to me, do you?
Remember when I moved in you and the Holy Dog was moving too/ And every breath we drew was Hallelujah?

Maybe there's a God above and maybe all I ever learned from love/ Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
And it's not a cry you can hear at night, it's not somebody who's seen the light/ It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

There's a verse missing in this:
Baby, I've been here before, I know 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
