Look at the opening two lines. Pure genius. Conveys a tough life on the road in a way that hasn't been done since Johnny Cash. |

| Jeff Buckley – Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen cover) Lyrics

The best thing about this recording is the sigh Jeff gives at the beginning of the song. Anyone who had read his biography "Dream Brother" will know that he had done a lot of takes and he was so exhausted that before he did his final take that he sighed in exasperation. The producer included it in the final cut, to add to the emotion of the song. Genius |
