Hallelujah (cover)

Jeff Buckley's version. I'm not actually entirely sure what the lyrics mean. I tried looking it up and apparently no one else is, either, so whatever. It's pretty.

Lyrics:

I heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord,
But you don't 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, 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,
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

Baby, I've been here before,
I've seen this room, I've walked this floor.
I used to live alone before I knew ya.
Well, 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.
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?

Well, maybe there's a God above,
But all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya.
It's not a cry you hear at night,
It's not someone who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
