lyrics

HALLELUJAH

There's an angel that roosts up on our roof, can you see him, cooing down his comfort on our heads at night? Above his canopied wings, I hear him singing, can you hear him, ringing out in echo cross the fire-flashed night?

Our house is a womb, a warm cocoon, cradling us like jewels right at the heart of it, cupping us like holy water in a silver spoon and all the half-baked beauty and truth that's scattered round its rooms throb in perfect unison, radiate an undulating hallelujah.

I can't say if our angel's going to stay up there forever, who he prays to, ruminating on our shiny rooftop; but I know some who would shoo away their feather-fettered guardian, rip the rafters, torch the table, tear the tiles off.

This house is a womb, a warm cocoon, cradling us like jewels right at the heart of it, cupping us like water in a silver spoon and all the beauty and truth that's scattered round its rooms throb in perfect unison, radiate an escalating hallelujah.
