Hallelujah, Jeff !

i 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

well 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 her kitchen chair
she broke your throne and she cut your hair
and from your lips she drew the hallelujah

hallelujah...

Hallelujah

baby i've been here before
i've seen this room and i've walked this floor
i used to live alone before i knew you
i've seen your flag on the marble arch
but love is not a victory march
it's a cold and it's a broken 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 you
but remember when i moved in you
and the holy dove was moving too
and every breath we drew was hallelujah

hallelujah...

Hallelujah

well, maybe there's a god above
but all i've ever learned from love
was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
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...

Lilac

i lost myself

on a cool damp night

gave myself in that misty light

was hypnotized

by a strange delight

under a lilac tree

i made wine from the lilac tree

put my heart in its recipe

it makes me see

what i want to see

and be what i want to be

when i think more

than i want to think

do things i never should do

i drink much more

than i ought to drink

because it brings me

back to you

Wine

lilac wine is sweet and heady

like my love

lilac wine

i feel unsteady

like my love

listen to me

i cannot see clearly

isn't that she coming to me

nearly here?

lilac wine is sweet and heady

where's my love?

lilac wine

i feel unsteady

where's my love?

listen to me

why is everything so hazy?

isn't that she

or am i just going crazy, dear?

lilac wine

i feel unready for my love

feel unready

for my love
