Notes: |
Ryan Adams to Uncut Magazine: "That's from a session I |
|||
|
called 48 Hours which was recorded straight after I'd finished Gold. I called Ethan Johns and said I'd got more songs I needed to record. I thought I had a whole other record. "Hallelujah" was written when I was living in the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. I was looking for a way to express a bunch of crap I'd been dealing with and "Hallelujah" was the happy accident that came out. I finished the lyrics seconds before I recorded it. It's vague but to the point." |

Lyrics: |
I've been a desperate man |
| I've been sheltered by a lonely dream | |
| There's a stranger here | |
| Looking back above the bathroom sink | |
| Every night I throw you out | |
| Leave you stranded on the boulevard | |
| You now that I use you up | |
| I used you like I used 'em all | |
| Well the band's singing hallelujah | |
| Hallelujah | |
| Hallelujah | |
| You're all gone. | |
| Yeah, you're all gone | |
| If I could have a simple love | |
| How would it feel and what would it mean? | |
| I'd only trade you away | |
| For Mary Magdalene | |
| Oh, it wouldn't make me a saint | |
| And it wouldn't make me the king | |
| And I wouldn't have to wait | |
| Wait around for the real thing | |
| Well the band's singing hallelujah | |
| Hallelujah | |
| Hallelujah | |
| You're all gone. | |
| Yeah, you're all gone | |
| Hallelujah | |
| Hallelujah | |
| Hallelujah | |
| You're all gone. | |
| Yeah, you're all gone | |
| Hallelujah | |
| Hallelujah | |
| Hallelujah |
