Waiting for the Miracle

Baby, I've been waitin'

I've been waitin' night and day

I didn't see the time

Yeah, 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

And I know it musta hurt you

It musta 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

Yeah, I don't believe you'd like it

You wouldn't like it here

There ain't no entertainment

And the judgments are severe

The Maestro says it's Mozart

But it sounds like bubblegum

When you're waiting

For the miracle

For the miracle to come

(Waiting for the miracle)

(There's nothin' left to do)

I haven't been this happy

Since the end of World War II

Nothin' left to do when you know that you've been taken

Nothin' left to do when you're begging for a crumb

Nothin' 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 fallin'

From your fingers and your thumb

And you were waiting

For the miracle

For the miracle to come

Yeah, 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 somethin' crazy

Somethin' absolutely wrong

While we're waiting

For the miracle

For the miracle to come

Nothin' left to do when you know you've been taken

Nothin' left to do when you're begging for a crumb

Nothin' left to do when you've got to go on waiting

(Waiting for the miracle to come)

When you've fallen on the highway

And you're lyin' in the rain

When they ask you how you're doin'

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

For the miracle to come
