Hallelujah (Live in Austin) Leonard Cohen

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
But listen love, love is not some kind of victory march
No, it’s a cold and it’s a very broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

There was a time you let me know
What’s really going on below
Ah, but now you never show it to me, do you?
Ah, but I remember, yeah, when I moved in you
And the holy dove, she was moving too
Yes, and every single breath that we drew was hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

Maybe there’s a God above
As for me, all I ever seem to learn from love
Is how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
Yeah, but it’s not a complaint that you hear tonight
It’s not the laughter of someone who claims to have seen the light
No, it’s a cold and it’s a very lonely hallelujah
