Hallelujah (Live April 17, 2009|Coachella Music Festival, Indio, California) - Leonard Cohen

Lyrics by：Leonard Cohen

Composed by：Leonard Cohen

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 falls the major lifts

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 her

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

Well maybe there's a God above

As for me all I've ever learned from love

Is how to shoot somebody who outdrew you

But it's not a crime that you're hear tonight

It's not some pilgrim who claims to have seen the light

No it's a cold and it's a very broken hallelujah

Hallelujah hallelujah

Hallelujah hallelujah

Hallelujah hallelujah

Hallelujah hallelujah

Well people I've been here before

I know this room and I've walked this floor

You see I used to live alone before I knew ya

And I've seen your flag on the marble arch

But listen love love is not some kind of victory march no

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 below

But now you never show it to me do you

And I remember when I moved in you

And the holy dove she was moving too

And every single breath we drew was hallelujah

Hallelujah hallelujah

Hallelujah hallelujah

I've done my best I know it wasn't much

I couldn't feel so I tried to touch

I've told the truth I didn't come here to

London just to fool you

And even though it all went wrong

I'll stand right here before the Lord of song

With nothing nothing on my tongue but hallelujah

Hallelujah hallelujah

Hallelujah hallelujah

Hallelujah hallelujah

Hallelujah hallelujah

Hallelujah
