remember that night in the garden
with the world spinning under our toes
how you kept me beggin your pardon
and I kept you from making a show
and everyone knows
that the world took your clothes
and left you to freeze in the sun
But I swear its alright
if you leave me tonight
to go out on your own with someone

Hallelu, oh hallelu
and the wise men have said
we'd be better off dead,
keep my name on your lips, Hallelu

last night I prayed for forgetting
tonight I'm just praying her name
Last night I watched the sun setting
tonight I'm just watching it rain
and it isn't the same
but it's dulling the pain
just watching the water come down
And I still haven't cried
or wished that I'd died
I just wish that you were around

Hallelu, oh Hallelu
and the wise men all know
what will come must then go,
and so spins the earth, Hallelu

With the stars to be my guide
I ain't far from being alright
and the dawn as it opens my eyes
lingers on as it crumbles and cries

It's nothing like painting a picture
it's nothing like burning a map
it's not that I felt I could fix her
she didn't need nothing like that
there was nothing she lacked
that she couldn't take back
it was only a matter of time
but the way that she smiled
it'll take me a while
to evict it from my simple mind

Hallelu, oh hallelu
and the wise men have said
we'd be better off dead,
keep my name on your lips, Hallelu

Hallelu, oh Hallelu
and the wise men all know
what will come must then go,
and so spins the earth, Hallelu
