Leonard Cohen - Waiting for the Miracle

Baby, Ive been waiting Ive been waiting night and day I didnt see the time I waited half my life away There were many invitations And I know you sent me some But I was waiting For the miracle to come I know you really loved me But, you see, my hands were tied I know it must have hurt you It must have hurt your pride To stand beneath my window With your bugle and your drum While I was waiting For the miracle to come You wouldnt like it baby You wouldnt like it here Theres not much entertainment And the critics are severe The maestro says its mozart But it sounds like bubble gum When youre waiting For the miracle to come Chorus Waiting for the miracle Theres nothing left to do I havent been this happy Since the end of world war ii Nothing left to do When you know that youve been taken Nothing left to do When youre begging for a crumb Nothing left to do When youve got to go on waiting For the miracle to come I dreamed about you, baby It was just the other night Most of you was naked But some of you was light The sands of time were falling ]from your fingers and your thumb And you were waiting For the miracle to come Baby, lets get married Weve been alone too long Lets be alone together Lets see if were that strong Lets do something crazy Something absolutely wrong While were waiting For the miracle to come Chorus When youve fallen on the highway And youre lying in the rain And they ask you how youre feeling Of course you say you cant complain If youre squeezed for information Thats when youve got to play it dumb You just say youre out there waiting For the miracle to come
