Text: Ryan Adams. Hallelujah.

I've been a desperate man
and I've been sheltered by a lonely dream.
If there's a stranger here
looking back above the bedroom sink.
every night i throw you out
leave you stranded on the boulevard.
You know that i used you up
I used you liked i've used 'em all.
Oh the band singing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
You're gone
Yeah you are 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
and would it make me sing
yeah would it make me king
and I wouldn't have to wait
wait around for the reasons
