waiting for the miracle - leonard cohen - The Future
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 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 i'm up there waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
ah i don't believe you'd like it,
you wouldn't like it here.
there ain't no entertainment
and the judgements are severe.
the maestro says it's mozart
but it sounds like bubble gum
when you're waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
