Cave Nick Hallelujah Lyrics

Hallelujah Lyrics

On the first day of May I took to the road

 I'd been staring out the window most of the morning

 I'd watched the rain claw at the glass

 And a vicious wind blew hard and fast

 I should have taken it as a warning

 As a warning As a warning

 As a warning 

 

 I'd given my nurse the weekend off

 My meals were ill prepared

 My typewriter had turned mute as a tomb

 And my piano crouched in the corner of my room

 With all its teeth bared

 All its teeth bared All its teeth bared

 All its teeth bared.

 

 Hallelujah Hallelujah

 Hallelujah Hallelujah

 

 I left my house without my coat

 Something my nurse would not have allowed

 And I took the small roads out of town

 And I passed a cow and the cow was brown

 And my pyjamas clung to me like a shroud

 Like a shroud Like a shroud

 Like a shroud 

 

 There rose before me a little house

 With all hope and dreams kept within

 A woman's voice close to my ear

 Said, "Why don't you come in here?"

 "You looked soaked to the skin"

 Soaked to the skin Soaked to the skin

 Soaked to the skin 

 

 Hallelujah Hallelujah

 Hallelujah Hallelujah

 

 I turned to the woman and the woman was young

 I extended a hearty salutation

 But I knew if my nurse had been here

 She would never in a thousand years

 Permit me to accept that invitation

 Invitation That invitation

 That invitation

 

 Now, you might think it wise to risk it all

 Throw caution to the reckless wind

 But with her hot cocoa and her medication 

 My nurse had been my one salvation

 So I turned back home 

 I turned back home I turned back home 

 Singing my song 

 

 Hallelujah

 The tears are welling in my eyes again

 Hallelujah

 I need twenty big buckets to catch them in

 Hallelujah

 And twenty pretty girls to carry 

 them down

 Hallelujah

 And twenty deep holes to bury them in

 Hallelujah

 The tears are welling in my eyes again

 Hallelujah

 I need twenty big buckets to catch them in

 Hallelujah

 And twenty pretty girls to carry them down

 Hallelujah

 And twenty deep holes to bury them in
