First Love |
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 swelt and the sweat |
and the shelter of the bed we slept on 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 that I’d piss on a grave |
I would forget that I’d piss on a grave |
and 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. |
