[01:07.11]On the first day of May I took to the road
[01:11.10]I'd been staring out the window most of the morning
[01:15.10]I'd watched the rain claw at the glass
[01:18.04]And a vicious wind blew hard and fast
[01:21.17]I should have taken it as a warning
[01:25.58]As a warning
[01:30.02]As a warning
[01:33.49]As a warning
[01:35.92]
[01:38.73]I'd given my nurse the weekend off
[01:42.70]My meals were ill prepared
[01:46.54]My typewriter had turned mute as a tomb
[01:49.69]And my piano crouched in the corner of my room
[01:52.90]With all its teeth bared
[01:57.46]All its teeth bared
[02:01.08]All its teeth bared
[02:05.03]All its teeth bared
[02:08.60]Hallelujah
[02:12.61]Hallelujah
[02:16.47]Hallelujah
[02:20.83]Hallelujah
[02:25.10]
[02:56.45]I left my house without my coat
[02:59.88]Something my nurse would not have allowed
[03:03.50]And I took the small roads out of town
[03:06.46]And I passed a cow and the cow was brown
[03:09.98]And my pyjamas clung to me like a shroud
[03:13.84]Like a shroud
[03:17.70]Like a shroud
[03:21.78]Like a shroud
[03:25.00]
[03:27.28]There rose before me a little house
[03:30.48]With all hope and dreams kept within
[03:34.43]A woman's voice close to my ear
[03:37.39]I said, Why don't you come in here?
[03:40.28]You looked soaked to the skin
[03:44.52]Soaked to the skin Soaked to the skin
[03:48.40]You looked soaked to the skin
[03:52.24]Soaked to the skin
[03:54.97]
[03:56.27]Hallelujah
[03:59.77]Hallelujah
[04:03.59]Hallelujah
[04:07.43]Hallelujah
[04:12.11]
[05:13.58]I turned to the woman and the woman was young
[05:16.86]I extended a hearty salutation
[05:20.68]But I knew if my nurse had been here
[05:23.48]She would never in a thousand years
[05:26.34]Permit me to accept that invitation
[05:31.05]Invitation
[05:34.26]That invitation
[05:37.99]That invitation
[05:40.77]
[05:43.96]Now, you might think it wise to risk it all
[05:47.58]Throw caution to the reckless wind
[05:50.22]But with her hot cocoa and her medication
[05:54.25]My nurse had been my one salvation
[05:57.57]So I turned back home
[06:01.47]I turned back home
[06:05.28]I turned back home
[06:08.72]I singing my song
[06:11.76]
[06:12.68]Hallelujah……
[06:43.09]Hallelujah (The tears are welling in my eyes again)
[06:47.20]Hallelujah (I need twenty big buckets to catch them in)
[06:50.74]Hallelujah (And twenty pretty girls to carry them down)
[06:54.45]Hallelujah (And twenty deep holes to bury them in)
[06:58.31]Hallelujah
[07:00.15]*The tears are welling in my eyes again
[07:02.80]I need twenty big buckets to catch them in
[07:06.12]And twenty pretty girls to carry them down
[07:09.94]And twenty deep holes to bury them in*
