Sunday April 4, 2021 “Hallelujah” Jeff Buckley

The refrain just seemed right for Easter Sunday.

 Stay safe and well...and enjoy this beautiful Jeff Buckley version of the Leonard Cohen song.

Well 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?

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 overthrew ya

She tied you to her kitchen chair

And she broke your throne and she cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

 Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

 But baby I've been here before

I've seen this room and I've walked this floor

You know, I used to live alone before I knew ya

And I've seen your flag on the marble arch

And love is not a victory march

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah 

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

 Well 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 

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah 

Maybe there's a God above

But all I've ever learned from love

Was how to shoot somebody 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

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

 

Hallelujah
