Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - Hallelujah Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • On the first day of may I took to the road
  • Id been staring out the window most of the morning
  • Id 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
  • Id 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 womans voice close to my ear
  • Said, why dont 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
