Hallelujah for a women’s love

Once when I cried for freedom
For freedoms ancient sleep
I lay on my bed in my kingdom
Feeling sad so sad and bleak.

Once when I laughed the world laughed too
And so my one true love did you;
Once when my heart was a ball and chain,
Love—saved my soul from the pain.

Once when the sun was cold,
And the moon was warm.
“I listened to those thoughts..?”
Echoing in my soul!

And sang: Hallelujah...
Hey, hey, hallelujah...
Hey, hey, hallelujah...

Once when all hope seemed a pitiless dream
I sat by your side and prayed.
And like Job I vented my anger at the earth
For giving me eyes life staid.
{In this shadows burning, shade!}

But you touched my soul
With your angel-wingtips
And alter bread your body,
Across my swollen lips!

As the suns and moons were shed,
Oh then I knew for sure, I wasn’t dead.
As angels wailed, and fled...
I gave thanks to a women’s bed.

Hallelujah...
Hey, hey, hallelujah...
Hey, hey, hallelujah...

For a women’s love is a shapely thing!
That’ll make you sing...
Hallelujah...
Hey, hey, hallelujah...
