Hallelujah Anyway Lyrics by Greenslade

Large Afternoon

0

On Monday morning early, was it something that you said?
For every whirling atom of the universe obeyed
From something less than blackest night, the brightest day was made
Oh hallelujah, hallelu, hallelujah
Then on the Tuesday after, by a clever slight of hand
You made the waters flow, you told the firmament to stand
By evening, you were happy, things were going as you planned
Oh hallelujah, hallelu, hallelujah
On Wednesday, you were quite inspired by something on your mind
From mud and sand, you made the land with mountains ranged behind
And made it like a garden, laid with plants of every kind
Oh hallelujah, hallelu, hallelujah
You noticed on a Thursday that all the earth was black
And made the sun to light her front, the moon to light her back
The night you set with stars to glow like jewels in a sack
Oh hallelujah, hallelu, hallelujah
When Friday came, you made the birds, the sky to populate
With little fish, you filled the sea and gave to each a mate
They showed a swift obedience when you had them copulate
Oh hallelujah, hallelu, hallelujah
But such success led to excess on Saturday at noon
For then you made the tribe of man a billion years too soon
Before he barely learned to crawl, he trampled on the moon
Well hallelujah anyway, hallelujah, hallelujah
On Sunday when you told the man a Sabbath day to keep
You little guessed what he was at while you were sound asleep
In just one day, he threw away your labour of a week
Well hallelujah anyway, hallelujah
Hallelujah anyway, hallelujah
Hallelujah anyway, hallelujah
Hallelujah anyway, hallelujah
And so begins the second week and you arise from rest
Did you expect to find him waiting in his Monday best?
The tree is dead, the bird has flown and burned the sacred nest
Well hallelujah anyway, hallelujah
Hallelujah anyway, hallelujah
Hallelujah anyway, hallelujah
Hallelujah anyway, hallelujah
Hallelujah anyway, hallelujah
Hallelujah anyway, hallelujah
Hallelujah anyway, hallelujah
Hallelujah anyway, hallelujah
Hallelujah anyway, hallelujah
Hallelujah anyway, hallelujah
