[ Featuring Mélissa ]
The priest released doves to power of love
Frankie goes to hollywood
Me banging down the church door
Screaming out your name
Even the choir cried
In a parallel life you married the wrong guy
Something changed your mind
I searched for years
One who seeks will find
I had kneeled on a florentine chapel floor
And watched old stories oozing from painted walls
I had never had a God
But the atmosphere had me change my prayer
For the coming year
And a boy soprano in the bright reverb
Sang hallelujah!
We met in Berlin at open mic
I had a girlfriend at the time
You changed your world against my best advice
You said, 'I'll never change my mind'
I love you more than sharks love blood
Predictable you always surprise me
I'd given up on love
I had prayed I never fall in love again
But here I am chained to the sacrificial rock
I had never had a god but something talks to me
When you touch my face, when you are near
When I had a hard day and I come home to you
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Is love the heaven of a false religion?
A dance on my own grave?
No one sings the hymn as loud as the convert
Be loved be saved
I don't believe in fate
It turned on a moment we never knew we had
A contradiction i can trace it back
I had prayed I never fall in love again
But here I am chained to the sacrificial rock
I had never had a god but something fills me up
Biblical rain into a carpenter's cup
Heavenly feelings in my earthly guts
Hallelujah!
I flew to you across the north atlantic
Woke up in your arms
