Well baby I've been here before

I've seen this room and I've walked this floor, you know,

I used to live alone before I knew you

And I've seen your flag on the marble arch

And love is not a victory march

It's a cold, it's a broken hallelujah

Well 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?

I remember when I moved in you

And the Holy Dove was moving too

And every breath we drew was hallelujah

Maybe there is a God above

But all I've ever learned from love

Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you

And it's not a cry that you hear at night

It's not somebody who's seen the light
