Sophie Zelmani - Waiting For The Miracle To Come Paintings - Carri Graber Lyrics by Leonard Cohen 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, 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, and me Im up there waiting for the miracle, for the miracle to come. Ah I dont believe youd like it, You wouldnt like it here. There aint no entertainment and the judgements are severe. The Maestro says its Mozart but it sounds like bubble gum when youre waiting for the miracle, for the miracle to come. 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 waiting for the miracle to come. I dreamed about you, baby. It was just the other night. Most of you was naked Ah 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, for the miracle to come Ah baby, lets get married, weve been alone too long. Lets be alone together. Lets see if were that strong. Yeah lets do something crazy, something absolutely wrong while were waiting for the miracle, for the miracle to come. Nothing left to do ... When youve fallen on the highway and youre lying in the rain, and they ask you how youre doing of course youll 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, for the miracle to come.
