I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
but love is not a victory march
it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
hallelujah...
there was a time when you let me know
what's really going on below
but now you never show that to me, do you?
but remember when I moved in you
and the holy dove was moving, too
and every breath we drew was hallelujah
hallelujah...
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
but love is not a victory march
it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
hallelujah...
there was a time when you let me know
what's really going on below
but now you never show that to me, do you?
but remember when I moved in you
and the holy dove was moving, too
and every breath we drew was hallelujah
hallelujah...

there is something about her voice that makes it sound utterly amazing and it opens so many different meanings to it.
STRIPPER!
no. let's not go down that road. it's not about sex, it was written by leonard cohen. the legend. the poet. dont turn beauty into nothing special.
As for its meaning, I thought Stylus Magazine had a reasonably good take: stylusmagazine.com/articles/seconds/…
Dunno why hes gettin credit for leonard cohen's song!!!
Should really be discussin the lyrics on his page...
