That version was covered by Jeff Buckley. Cale then organised verses, sung them live for years, and made studio version for I'm Your Fan tribute album. He heard new Hallelujah in 1988 show and asked Leonard for ALL verses and Leonard faxed the lyrics to him. Leonard never performed both versions merged into one - that was done by John Cale. So there's many people around hearing only one of those versions by Leonard, and thinking that Jeff Buckley wrote other verses. First version was repeated on The Essential Leonard Cohen (2002), while second (from Cohen Live) was repeated on More Best Of (1997). The main confusion is that Leonard performed first version of Hallelujah in 1985 (Various Positions, world tour), and then new, second version on 19 tours (which was released on Cohen Live in 1994). If there ever was 15 verses, it was never published. Purple, I don't know which version you have - the order of verses isn't Leonard's. It would be much appreciated if anyone has any of the missing 8 I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
#Who wrote raise a hallelujah how to
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew youīut if I did, well really, what's it to you? Well there was a time when you let me know I've seen this room and I've walked this floor She broke your throne and she cut your hairĪnd from your lips she drew the hallelujah Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you Well your faith was strong but you needed proof Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth That David played and it pleased the lordīut you don't really care for music, do you I am also searching for the rest of the verses.
