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.
