[00:00.70] I remember how we met
[00:04.37] but your name I forget
[00:07.07] like the door that I have kept unopened
[00:13.13] I remember it was wet
[00:15.92] and the swelter and the sweat
[00:18.65] and the shelter of the bed we were cloaked in
[00:23.10]
[00:23.83] You were stroking me like a pet
[00:26.92] but you didn't own me yet
[00:29.75] and the tape in the cassette deck was choking
[00:34.40] Spat out a broken hallelujah
[00:39.93]
[00:47.54] But I've seen the way the earth
[00:51.58] throws its aces with a curve
[00:54.21] You were waiting for the words
[00:56.94] to come to yer.
[00:59.78] Just to say that you prefer
[01:02.32] to be lonely to be cursed
[01:05.01] and to do the very worst you can do.
[01:09.16]
[01:10.00] Yeah I remember you like a verse
[01:13.05] that I didn't want to learn
[01:15.80] I just looked into your eyes and I knew yer.
[01:20.86] Now the thought of you is burnt
[01:23.80] on my body from the first time
[01:26.78] you did rewind that line from Hallelujah.
[01:31.28] The original Leonard Cohen version.
[01:36.37]
[01:54.56] Well I wish I never met you that day
[01:58.29] You said I have a room and music to play
[02:00.98] I have a room let me show you the way
[02:03.53] I wish that I'd never come
[02:06.16] But now that I have, I would do it again
[02:08.73] I would forget like I'd piss on a grave
[02:11.25] I would forget like I'd piss on a grave
[02:13.84] that the words as they came to my tongue
[02:15.91] were hallelujah. Hallelujah!
[02:20.72] And the sky was so much bluer
[02:26.02] Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
[02:31.26] And the world was so much newer.
[02:36.13]
[02:36.83] You said I have a room
[02:38.79] at the top of the stairs
[02:39.98] I have a room with a view
[02:42.06] I know we all have a cross that we bear
[02:44.69] and I'd like to show it to you.
[02:47.16]
[03:00.81] And you left me in the light
[03:03.57] and you met me in the light
[03:06.51] and we only had a night between the two.
[03:11.63] You were waiting for the worst
[03:14.44] You were listening for a curse
[03:17.28] but the only thing I heard was hallelujah.
[03:22.08]
[03:24.99] Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
[03:30.08] And the sky was so much bluer
[03:35.40] Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
[03:40.23] And the world was so much newer.
[03:45.26]
[03:45.90] you said I have a room
[03:47.81] at the top of the stairs.
[03:48.92] I have a room with a view.
[03:51.19] I know we all have a cross that we bear
[03:53.74] and I'd like to give it to you.
[03:55.77] And I won't forget how the sky was set
[03:58.58] I said I have a place to go back to.
[04:00.85] La La La I will have you yet
[04:03.14] I will carry you there if I have to.
[04:05.49]
[04:11.57] No I won't forget no I won't.
[04:15.61] No I won't forget no I won't
[04:19.27] No I won't forget no I won't
[04:22.46] No I won't forget no.
[04:26.14] Woah. Woah. Woah. W-o-o-o-ah.
[04:30.40] First love.
[04:32.81]
