Additional Lyrics

2. 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 a kitchen chair.
She broke your throne; she cut your hair.
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah. (To Chorus)

3. Maybe I have been here before.

I know this room; I've walked this floor.
I used to live alone before I knew you.
I've seen your flag on the marble arch.
Love is not a victory march.
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah. (To Chorus)

4. There was a time you let me know

What's real and going on below.
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you,
The holy dark was movin' too,
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah. (To Chorus)
