| I remember how we met
|
| but your name I forget
|
| like the door that I have kept unopened
|
| I remember it was wet
|
| and the swelt and the sweat
|
| and the shelter of the bed we slept on You were stroking me like a pet
|
| but you didn’t own me yet
|
| and the tape in the cassette deck was choking
|
| Spat out a broken hallelujah
|
| But I’ve seen the way the earth
|
| throws its aces with a curve
|
| You were waiting for the words
|
| to come to yer.
|
| Just to say that you prefer to be lonely
|
| to be cursed
|
| and to do the very worst you can do.
|
| Yeah I remember you like a verse
|
| that I didn’t want to learn
|
| I just looked into your eyes
|
| and I knew yer.
|
| Now the thought of you is burnt
|
| on my body from the first time you did rewind that line from Hallelujah.
|
| The original Leonard Cohen version.
|
| Well I wish I never met you that day
|
| You said I have a room and music to play
|
| I have a room let me show you the way
|
| I wish that I’d never come
|
| But now that I have, I would do it again
|
| I would forget that I’d piss on a grave
|
| I would forget that I’d piss on a grave
|
| and the words as they came to my tongue were hallelujah. |
| Hallelujah!
|
| And the sky was so much bluer
|
| Hallelujah! |
| Hallelujah!
|
| And the world was so much newer.
|
| You said I have a room
|
| at the top of the stairs
|
| I have a room with a view
|
| I know we all have a cross that we bear
|
| and I’d like to show it to you.
|
| And you left me in the light
|
| and you met me in the light
|
| and we only had a night between the two.
|
| You were waiting for the worst
|
| You were listening for a curse
|
| but the only thing I heard was hallelujah.
|
| Hallelujah! |
| Hallelujah!
|
| And the sky was so much bluer
|
| Hallelujah! |
| Hallelujah!
|
| And the world was so much newer.
|
| you said I have a room
|
| at the top of the stairs.
|
| I have a room with a view.
|
| I know we all have a cross that we bear
|
| and I’d like to give it to you.
|
| And I won’t forget how the sky was set
|
| I said I have a place to go back to.
|
| La La La I will have you yet
|
| I will carry you there if I have to.
|
| No I won’t forget no I won’t.
|
| No I won’t forget no I won’t
|
| No I won’t forget no I won’t
|
| No I won’t forget no.
|
| Woah. |
| Woah. |
| Woah. |
| W-o-o-o-ah.
|
| First love. |
