Hallelujah / I Know It's Over (Medley) (Live at King Theater, Seattle, WA - May 1995)

Well I heard there was a secret chord That David played and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? 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 And she tied you to her kitchen chair She broke your throne, she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Hallelujah Well 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 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 you? But remember when I moved in you And the holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah Hallelujah Well maybe theres a God above But all I've ever learned from love Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you And it's not a cry that you hear at night and it's not somebody who's seen the light It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah -- Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head And as I climb into an empty bed - oh well, enough said I know it's over still I cling, I don't know where else I can go Over and over..... Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head See the sea wants to take me, the knife wants to slit (cut) me Do you think you can help me Sad veiled bride please be happy - handsome groom give her room Loud loutish lover treat her kindly though she needs you More than she loves you - and I know it's over - still I cling I don't know where else I can go - over and over..... I know it's over and it never really began but in my heart it was so real And she even spoke to me and said "If you're so funny, then why are you on your own tonight?" "And if you're so clever then why are you on your own tonight?" "And if you're so very entertaining then why are you on your own tonight?" "And if you're so very good looking, then why do you sleep alone tonight?" I know - 'cos tonight is just like any other night - that's why you're on your own tonight With your triumphs and your charms - while they're in each other's arms It's so easy to laugh it's so easy to hate it takes strength to be gentle and kind - over and over.... It's so easy to laugh it's so easy to hate it takes guts to be gentle and kind - over and over.... Love is natural and real - but not for you my love not tonight my love Love is natural and real - but not for such as you and I my love Oh mother... etc.
