The most purely perfect piece of music ever written by a human being. Your interpretation may differ...

That version, the Jeff Buckley version, is pretty awesome. And clearly all about sex, with some pretty incredible double meanings.
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
I bet she had no problems drawing "hallelujah" from his lips.
There was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me, do you?
So she no longer shows him the goods?
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah?
When it comes to the woman he loves, every man remembers when he "moved in her", no?
There are no mysteries in interpreting this version. None at all.
