HALLELUJA


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, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrough 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

Well, maybe I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
I used to live with Leonard 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

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

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 you drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

And maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
Well 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, Halle...
It's not what you're told
It's not her face
It's not his touch
In the room you both share
Where he's gone when he loved
When your time and your memory fills your dreams
When you're honest and together
Together no more
No more
Hallelujah, until you're nothing
Hallelujah, baby, until she's everywhere
Hallelujah, until together you are somewhere I'd lost
Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

Bonne nuit, bonne nuit, I love you, I love you, We love
you, Thank you

LEAH


Leah if you love me you'll let me go free
Your arms enfold me they chain me to thee

Children are wishes that never come true
Even the least of them come to leave you

And I'm lost in your swell
And I'm yours can't you tell

Leah if you love me you must kill your heart
There'll be no life for me 'till we're apart

So many songs I have sung here for you
Let this boy fly 'fore his young life is through

And I'm lost in your swell
And I'm yours can't you tell

LESBIA


I took myself a notion
To be across the ocean
I packed my things and boldly I did go

Ah see my wings unfolding
The heart a flower open
Just forget the little that you know

I'm riding with my lady
Her body hard against me
My Lesbia my queen of little rooms

Evangelists are singing
The sunday bells are ringing
She takes me spinning through the afternoon

And she waits for me to come
And my head begins to hum
You're the one that I adore
You're the one that i adore

Oh the day is fading
And my soul cascading song

Now the only thing as pretty
As snow in New York City
Was seeing you arriving on the scene

I long to take you strolling
Some rocking and some rolling
I long to kiss your mouth how long it's been

And I'll set you in the stars
And I'll put you in my dreams

You're the one that I adore
You're the one that I adore

But to love there must be love

LET IT COME DOWN


I long for her
The one I love where can she be
Over the mountains over the sea
I know my love she waits for me

I looked for her inside my heart
Inside my shame
In eyes of ebony in eyes of flame
I know my love she does the same

Let it come down
Let it come down let it be night
That you may be here now my only light
I know my love will make it right

LOVE'S SWEET SONG


Love's sweet song
Is over for us
I could stand in your way
But I won't make a fuss

Oh I know you've been foolin'
Around for a while
But I'll still be a fool
For the light in your smile

Love's sweet song
Was beautiful too
It was mortar
That held me to you

But all songs must end
Some happy, some sad
Its lonely refrain
Reminds me of what we had

You were my queen
We crossed the ocean of green
And we dreamed of a time that never could
have been

Love's sweet song
That old melody
Plays over and over
In my hearts memory

Oh I try to forget
But what can I do
When loves sweet song
Keeps me thinking 'bout you

MY SOUL IS ON FIRE


My soul is on fire
With a mighty love for you
And one and one is one not two
Am I the fire inside of you

My soul is on fire
And it will not rest until you're known
Cannot bear my solitude alone
Have you come to roll away the stone

I saw you coming through my waves of joy
Rode through the night with you
My souls envoy
And were it not for you I'd surely die
I'd surely die

My soul is on fire
'Cause you made yourself to be so fine
With a will of iron I could not mine
Your the very ape of all divine

My soul is on fire
I'm the missing link in your disguise
I'm the willing screen for all your lies
I'm the mask that cannot hide your eyes

I saw you coming through my waves of joy
Rode through the night with you
My souls envoy
And were it not for you I'd surely die
I'd surely die

SOPHIA


Well you'll get your wishes
And I'll get my dreams
And we'll all come to dust

And nothing's what you ask for
And nothing's how it seems
I don't know why I try but I must

There's a play in the way that you smile
There's a light and a way in your smile
There's a thousand long summers in your smile

Well I know that my loving
Is dark and it's deep
But I don't wish for you to be lonely

And I know that you're hungry
But you don't like to speak
Oh I know I could love you and you only

There's a play in the way that you smile
There's a light and a way in your smile
There's a thousand long summers in your smile

Well your spirit is willing
And your body is strong
I don't know why we waited so long

And I am no further
From the right than the wrong
It is there that I know I belong

THE HONEYMOONERS


Darling I am shaking
And my limbs are made of fire
And though all heaven is revealed
You are my one desire
I cannot hold my thoughts
There is poison in my head
I simply turned to look
And all at once the world is dead

Oh lover still your tongue
You're the king of all you see
The unmade bed you lie upon
This strange likeness of me
My body be your focus
Your labour be my joy
For everything's decided
In the twinkle of an eye

Darling I am a sailor
And I chart the southern lands
I calm the ocean with my song
And I rouse her with my hands
I'll build for you a craft
Out of my jealousies
We'll raise the sail and let it coast
Into eternity

Lover you are weary
Come and rest between my thighs
The hungry dogs of reason
They have filled you full of lies
I'll give to you my army
And my city and my throne
I'll give the flower of my love
To you and you alone

YOU STOLE MY HEART AWAY


Well you know that it's true
Since I coupled with you
I have watched opportunity stray
Some to gold some to mud
I've got the road in my blood
'Cause you stole my heart away

Father hear my lament
What was straight now is bent
What was black is now fading to grey
It's a bird it's a plane
It's a fault in my brain
'Cause you stole my heart away

Well the weakness is mine
It's been here for a time
Keeping all of these riddles at bay
If I don't have a whip
I go upstairs and strip
'Cause you stole my heart away

You are hardly yet beaten my son
You have still got another bullet
Left in your gun

Well the garden is green
It's a real gentle scene
It will bring us together I pray
Like a bee to a flower
You'll be mine in an hour
'Cause you stole my heart away

YOU'RE LOVELY TO ME


You're lovely to me yes you are
We've traveled together
We've traveled so far
Your tongue it is wise
And there's love in your eyes deep and blue

You're lovely to me yes you are
And venus ascending is surely your star
I've seen how you shine
But I can't make you mine it is true

You're a midsummer mountain in bloom
Heather and linden, the fruit of your womb
There's honey and sap in the couch of your lap
Lady day

There's nothing you would not provide
When all is despair you are there at my side
It is you that is near it is you that gives ear
when I pray

You're lovely to me yes you are
You've been out on the road with a craving for tar
You know what you need yes you're canny in deed
And in name

You're lovely to me yes you are
And I'll see you tonight in a local bar
We'll be wed before dawn and by morning
We're one and the same

The old ones they knew you my love
They set you to reason and sullied a dove
But how could they try you or demystify you with words

You're a city that's pulling me still
You keep me from sleeping and strengthen my will
The gates they are strong but they open for song I
have heard

You're lovely to me yes you are
You're the beautiful one that time cannot mar
Your lost in the eyes of my love as she cries all for
joy

You're lovely to me yes you are
You're the elusive chord on my old guitar
You're hidden 'neath veils that our love making fails
to destroy

There's all I desire in your voice
I fear I am bold but you leave me no choice
You know that to ask me to turn from my task would be
vain

You're a rose that for no man will yield
You have many names and all of them sealed
Your empire is vast from the first to the last you
remain

You're lovely to me yes you are
It's war all the time but you bare no scar
You glitter like sand as it runs through my hands to
the sea

You're lovely to me yes you are
You're my drunken companion it's right that you are
Your love takes me higher your love is the fire in me
