It's a cold and it's a broken, "hallelujah."

I reserve this post for the best song... EVER!
And it's because it's by Jeff Buckley.
He's a BEAST!

Hallelujah
~ Jeff Buckley ~

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, 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...
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?"

Hallelujah...

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..
Hallelujah...
Hallelujah...
Hallelujah...

Hallelujah...

Hallelujah...
Hallelujah...
Hallelujah...

Hallelujah...
Hallelujah...
Hallelujah...
Hallelujah...
Hallelujah...

Am I supposed to be feeling this immature?
Am I supposed to be this angry?
Am I supposed to lose yet one more person in my life?

God, I don't think I can count any higher than 10.

All I want is peace.
I don't want to lose another one... not one more death.

Many and sweet may be your dreams,
<3
