Hallelujah

Smiling sweetly said she made you smoke your cigs all outside
This could be your last time, this would be your last time now
What’s a few if the hotel don’t mind
Remember how her eyes would shine
They made you come home on time
What’s the plan for tonight calling just to say hi love
How about just us tonight
Oh and oh and oh her eyes always fixing to tell me Our love is gorgeous
While she would hum so softly
Hallelujah
And we would take those walks at night
And we would dance there in the kitchen till we couldn’t catch our breath
Blood collects and clots
The color creeps from carpet to tile
When you signed you seemed fine, when you signed you seemed fine
A stiff drink will change a mind
Memories aren’t for keeping, mostly just for leaving behind
They’ll remember alright, we remember alright now
A thousand memories and too much wine
Oh and oh and oh the song she would sing it so sweetly
The drunken stupor
It had you slurring it out loud
Hallelujah
And we would take those walks at night
And we would dance there in the kitchen till we couldn’t catch our breath
Cold limbs, casino carpet, and linoleum tiles
You sleep
Waking up to the choir singing
Hallelujah
Remember how her eyes would shine, they made you come home on time
