Waiting for the Miracle (Live)

Waiting for the Miracle (Live) - Leonard Cohen (莱昂纳德·科恩)

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

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

I believe 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

Have to stand beneath my window

With your bugle and your drum

I'm up there 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 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

Yes 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

Nothing left to do

When you know 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

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

When 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
