BROKEN HALLELUJAH

I offer up this doggerel verse
To a cold uncaring universe
In hopes it will find it’s way to you
I loved baby from the very start
You boiling blood , your cold, Vulcan heart
Your warm eyes made me sing the Hallelujah!
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

I searched for a crack in your disguise
I found you strong, I found you wise
I found you could care and what duty meant to you
And when you played upon your lyre
Like that baffled king with his soul on fire
I smiled and softly whispered Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

We courted using argue and flirt
Then we moved on to comfort and hurt
And when we touched I knew you knew, too.
Our love was hotter than the stars
We kept it secret this love of ours
A private and a holy Hallelujah!
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

I thought I knew what love was about
But I wasn’t ready to come out
I thought you felt the same way, too, yeah
I said I’m not ready, no debate
You cried; I thought you were my soul mate.
You left. I wept a broken Hallelujah.
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Now I sing this lonesome song
Please come back, Darling I was wrong
I’m ready now to commit to you
But I’m too late, you ran to Gol
To purge your feeling one and all
There’s nothing left but this broken Hallelujah.
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
