HALLELUJAH JORDAN by Liam O'Maonlai

Hallelujah jordan he went to the nearest bar he ordered
whiskey and soda
See how far he'd get to forgetting her

He met her at an all night cafe
and they sat all night drinking coffee
and talking and they found they had a lot in common
and later on they went back to his place and they sat 'till dawn
laughing,talking they found they had a lot in common

He was young
he had a young spirit
they could have kissed all night
and he knew that he loved her

But now you,ll find hallelujah jordan in some unknown late bar
Trying to tell strange folks his secrets and his problems

Yes you,ll find hallelujah jordan in some late bar in the ghetto
wine stains on his belly and he,ll tell you
How she was flattered by a smart youngman
he drove a fast car and yes she wanted

Hallelujah Jordan you can tell me your secrets
you can tell me your problems
i think you know what i mean

Now Hallelujah loves the bottle more brittle than her body
more brittle than the heart she,d broken

Hallelujah left this town
the next drink he drowned
finally drowned his sorrows
