Bird On The Wire (Live in Fredericton, 2008)
Jeff BuckleY
Well I heard there was a secret chord
That David played,and it pleased the Lord
But you dont really care for music,do ya
Well it goes like this
The fourth,the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing 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
And she broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Well baby Ive been here before
Ive seen this room and Ive walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew ya
Ive seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
Its a cold and its a broken Hallelujah
Well there was a time when you let me know
Whats really going on below
But now you never show that to me do you
And remember when I moved in you ?
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Well maybe theres a God above
But all Ive ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody whod OUT DREW YA
And its not a cry that you hear at night
Its not somebody whos seen the light
