Memories.............

*sniff*
Was browsing through my old photographs of Sharon this evening and it brought everything flooding back to me. Life is so cruel. Spent the next couple of hours looking back on what we had and what we did whilst listening to Rufus Wainwright. Topped it all off by listening to the song of Sharon singing with Mark Young. Had a chat with Angie on MSN while I was listening to Rufus and sent her Sharon's song which she thought was "well lush" :o)

No particular reason that I chose to put this one online other than that I love it (and it was a song that Sharon hadn't realised was by Rufus which I found quite amusing)

Hallelujah

I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty
in the moonlight
overthrew you
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne,
she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe I've been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time you'd let me know
What's real and going on below
But now you never show it to me do you?
Remember when I moved in you?
The holy dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

- Hallelujah (Rufus Wainwright)

Well that explains a few things.

Perhaps I won't come tomorrow
