This song tells exactly how, when I was, while I was
Sitting back on my deep pile reclining chair
Thinking about my life and all the good things that happened
Well it just came to mind to me that
Yeah came to mind to me that

I ain't been treatin her too bad...too well too well

No I been pushin' her 'round
And you know
There comes a time in every mans life when he's got to
Look over his misdemeanours, misgivings, misfortunes and
Miss Whatever her name is ha ha

I'm sorry I'm sorry

Yeah and say you're sorry, so I say, I'm sorry
'Cos I been telling you lies, standing on your face
I been making you cry all over the place Lord
I should have known (known) should've known better
Well I could not phone (phone) but I could

I'm sorry

You know I'm crazy sorry sorry sorry baby
I think it's time I realised get down on my knees
And apologise

Oh Lord
I didn't know when I hurt you
I didn't know when you cried
I didn't know when you screamed Lord
I didn't know when you stopped to cry

I didn't know when you called
I didn't know when you hurt
I didn't know sweet Mama
I didn't know I should
I am

I'm sorry

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

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

He met her at an all night cafe
And they sat all night drinking coffee and talking
A 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 yeah
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 yeah

He was young
He had a young spirit
They could have kissed all night
And he knew that he loved her yeah

But now you'll find Hallelujah Jordan
In some unknown late bar
Trying to tell strange folks his secrets and his problems yeah

Yeah you'll find Hallelujah Jordan in a late bar the ghetto
Wine stains on his belly and oh he'll tell ya...
How she was flattered by a smart young man
He drove a fast car and ooh ooh she want it

Hallelujah Jordan you can tell me your secrets
You can tell me your problems
I think I know what you mean...

Hallelujah Jordan you can tell me your secrets
You can tell me your problems
I think I know what you mean...

Now Hallelujah loves the bottle more brittle than her body
More brittle than the heart she'd broken yeah...

Now Hallelujah loves the bottle more brittle than her body
More brittle than the heart she'd broken yeah...

Hallelujah left this town
The next drink he had he drowned oh
Finally drowned his sorrows yeah

As a child touching age we think that it's so
That life love and everything is easy to know
The old, they can't reach us,
Their ways are not ours
Though the furrowed our futures
Our freedom they bore

The older we get the further we see
The more we mean to each other
The more you mean to me

I believe in these people
I believe in this age
Though I hear about torment in lifes lonely page
Yet still we walk strong
We'll remember we're free
For the truth we are given
For what we believe

The older we get the further we see
The more we mean to each other
The more you mean to me

I have searched out the answers
To the mysteries the laws
Though still I find barriers
Yet still I would fall
But I struggle on
The truth that I seek
But I must remain strong
For the lonely the weak the weak the old

The older we get the further we see
The more we mean to each other
The more you mean to me
