Jeff Buckley

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 Alleluia

Alleluia, Alleluia
Alleluia, Alleluia

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty
in 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 Alleluia

Alleluia, Alleluia
Alleluia, Alleluia

Maybe 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 Alleluia

Alleluia, Alleluia
Alleluia, Alleluia

There was a time you'd let me know
What's real and going on below
But now you never show it to me do you?
Remember when I moved in you?
The holy dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was Alleluia

Alleluia, Alleluia
Alleluia, Alleluia

Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
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 Alleluia

Alleluia, Alleluia
Alleluia, Alleluia
Alleluia, Alleluia
Alleluia, Alleluia
