There was a sacred bird above That knew the secrets of all love But when he sang the music Only fooled you The music left broken sighs With teardrops flowing from your eyes And a bitter tasting hallelujah
I saw you walking in the mist No words spoken when we kissed The beauty overthrew you You clipped my eagles wings Made a prisoner of all kings Your honeyed lips sang hallelujah
Lady I have seen before The prisons of a bedroom floor The victory banner in your eyes Chains built of **** sighs loves not a war to win and rule you Its broken wings wailing hallelujah
Once you told me all you know Now thats a side you never show Remember when I lived in you The sacred bird was singing too. And every kiss was hot and true Inside my heart was singing too A mellow song of hallelujah
Now the tunes a bitter song Wrecked broken all gone wrong Loves a broken sinking ship With bitterness left on my lips Its a jest of god to fool you All thats left a faded song With broken promises on my tongue With the icy wind wailing hallelujah
