Waiting for the Miracle

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

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
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, let's get married
We've been alone too long
Let's be alone together
Let's see if we're that strong
Yeah let's do something crazy
Something absolutely wrong
While we're waiting
For the miracle
For the miracle to come

Nothing left to do...

When you've fallen
On the highway
And you're lying
In the rain
And they ask you
How you're doing
Of course you'll 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
For the miracle to come

Ah baby, let's get married
We've been alone too long...
