OTHER VERSES



Baby we’ve been here before
I’ve seen this room and I’ve walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew ya
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


There was a time 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 to you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah


I know that there’s a God above
But all I’ve every learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
t’s not a cry you hear at night, 
It’s not somebody who’s seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah
