Waiting For The Miracle lyrics

Artist/Band: 
Leonard Cohen
Album: 
The Future

Baby, Ive been waiting
Ive been waiting night and day
I didnt see the time
I waited half my life away
There were lots of 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 have to stand beneath my window
With your bugle and your drum
While me were up there waiting
For the miracle to come

I don't believe you like it
You wouldnt like it here
There is no entertainment
And the judgements 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 doling
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
