You are right, of course Annie, the lyrics you refer to are from Leonards 1984 album Various Positions. However he did another version on his 1994 album Cohen Live. Lyrics below.

Baby, I've been here before

I know this room, I've walked this floor

I used to live alone before I knew you

Yeah and I've seen your flag

On the marble arch

But this love, love is not some kind of a victory march

No, it's a cold and it's a very broken Hallelujah!

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Halellujah


There was a time you let me know

What's really going on below

Ah but now you never show it to me, do you?

Yeah but I remember

Yeah when I moved in you

And the holy dove she was moving too

Yes and every single breath that we drew was Hallelujah!

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah


Maybe there's a God above

As for me all I ever seem to learn from love

Is how to shot at someone who outdrew you

Yeah but it's not a complaint

That you hear tonight

It's not a laughter of someone who claims to have seen the light

No, it's a cold and it's a very lonely Hallelujah!

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn't much

I couldn't feel, so I learned to touch

I've told the truth, I didn't come all this way to fool you

Yeah and even though

It all went wrong

I'll stand right here before the Lord of Song

With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
