Waiting For The Miracle — текст песни (cohen leonard)

(Leonard Cohen/Sharon Robinson)

Baby, I`ve been waiting
I`ve been waiting night and day
I didn`t 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 wouldn`t like it baby
You wouldn`t like it here
There`s not much entertainment
And the critics are severe
The Maestro says it`s Mozart
But it sounds like bubble gum
When you`re waiting
For the miracle to come

CHORUS
Waiting for the miracle
There`s nothing left to do
I haven`t been this happy
Since the end of World War II
Nothing left to do
When you know that you`ve been taken
Nothing left to do
When you`re begging for a crumb
Nothing left to do
When you`ve 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, let`s get married
We`ve been alone too long
Let`s be alone together
Let`s see if we`re that strong
Let`s do something crazy
Something absolutely wrong
While we`re waiting
For the miracle to come

CHORUS

When you`ve fallen on the highway
And you`re lying in the rain
And they ask you how you`re feeling
Of course you say you can`t complain
If you`re squeezed for information
That`s when you`ve got to play it dumb
You just say you`re out there waiting
For the miracle to come
