I remember how we met
But your name I forget
Like the door that I have kept unopened
I remember it was wet
And the swelter and the sweat
And the shelter of the bed we were cloaked in
You were stroking me like a pet
But you didn't own me yet
And the tape in the cassette deck was choking
Spat out a broken hallelujah
But I've seen the way the earth
Throws its aces with a curve
You were waiting for the words
To come to yer
Just to say that you prefer
To be lonely to be cursed
And to do the very worst you can do
Yeah I remember you like a verse
That I didn't want to learn
I just looked into your eyes and I knew yer
Now the thought of you is burnt
On my body from the first time
You did rewind that line from Hallelujah
The original Leonard Cohen version
Well I wish I never met you that day
You said I have a room and music to play
I have a room let me show you the way
I wish that I'd never come
But now that I have I would do it again
I would forget like I'd piss on a grave
I would forget like I'd piss on a grave
That the words as they came to my tongue
Were hallelujah Hallelujah
And the sky was so much bluer
Hallelujah Hallelujah
And the world was so much newer
You said I have a room
At the top of the stairs
I have a room with a view
I know we all have a cross that we bear
And I'd like to show it to you
And you left me in the light
And you met me in the light
And we only had a night between the two
You were waiting for the worst
You were listening for a curse
But the only thing I heard was hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
And the sky was so much bluer
Hallelujah Hallelujah
And the world was so much newer
You said I have a room
At the top of the stairs
I have a room with a view
I know we all have a cross that we bear
And I'd like to give it to you
And I won't forget how the sky was set
I said I have a place to go back to
La La La I will have you yet
I will carry you there if I have to
No I won't forget no I won't
No I won't forget no I won't
No I won't forget no I won't
No I won't forget no
Woah Woah Woah W-o-o-o-ah
First love
