John Cale

Album:

Fragments of a Rainy Season

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, she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah


Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah


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 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


There was a time you let me know
What's really going on blew
But now you never show it to me, do you?
I remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too.
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah


Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah


Maybe there's a God above
all I ever learned from love
was how to at shoot somebody out drew you.
And it's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's cold and it's a broken Hallelujah


Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
