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 fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing 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…
You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light
In every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah…
I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though It all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
Hallelujah…
If you want a lover
I'll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you
If you want a partner
Take my hand
Or if you want to strike me down in anger
Here I stand
I'm your man
If you want a boxer
I will step into the ring for you
And if you want a doctor
I'll examine every inch of you
If you want a driver
Climb inside
Or if you want to take me for a ride
You know you can
I'm your man
Ah, the moon's too bright
The chain's too tight
The beast won't go to sleep
I've been running through these promises to you
That I made and I could not keep
Ah but a man never got a woman back
Not by begging on his knees
Or I'd crawl to you baby
And I'd fall at your feet
And I'd howl at your beauty
Like a dog in heat
And I'd claw at your heart
And I'd tear at your sheet
I'd say please, please
I'm your man
And if you've got to sleep
A moment on the road
I will steer for you
And if you want to work the street alone
I'll disappear for you
If you want a father for your child
Or only want to walk with me a while
Across the sand
I'm your man
If you want a lover
I'll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you
Sisters of MercyAll the sisters of mercy, they are not departed or gone.
They were waiting for me when I thought that I just cannot go on.
And they brought me their comfort, later they brought me this song.
Ah yes I hope you run into them, you who've been travelling so long.
Ra ra ra ra ra ra...
Yeah you who must leave everything that you cannot control.
It begins with your family, but soon it comes around to your soul.
Well I've been where you're hanging and I think I can see how you're pinned:
Yeah when you're not feeling holy, your loneliness tells you, you've sinned.
Ra ra ra ra ra ra...
They lay down beside me, I made my confession to them.
They touched both my eyes, I touched the dew on their hem.
If your life is a leaf that the seasons tear off and condemn
Ah they will bind you with love that is graceful and green as a stem.
Ra ra ra ra ra ra...
I left, they were sleeping, I hope you run into them soon.
Don't turn on the lights, you can read their address by the moon.
And you won't make me jealous if I hear that they sweetened your night:
Ah we weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be all right,
Ra ra ra ra ra ra...
Won´t you come over to the window, my little darling,
I’d like to try to read your palm.
I used to think I was some kind of gypsy boy
before I let you take me home.
So long, Marianne, it’s time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
You know that I love to live with you,
but you make me forget so very much.
I forget to pray for the angels,
and then the angels forget to pray for us.
So long, Marianne, it’s time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
We met when we were almost young.
It was down by the green lilac park.
You held on to me like I was a crucifix
as we went kneeling through the dark.
So long, Marianne, it’s time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
For now I need your hidden love.
I’m cold as a new razor blade.
You left when I told you I was curious.
Did I ever say that I was brave?
So long, Marianne, it’s time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
You are really such a pretty one.
I see you’ve gone and changed your name again.
And just when I climbed this mountainside
to wash my eyelids in the rain.
So long, Marianne, it’s time that we began
to laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
