Текст песни: Leonard Cohen. Waiting for The Miracle.

Baby, Ive been waiting

Ive been waiting night and day

I didnt see the time

I waited half my life away

There were many invitations

And I know you sent me some

But I was waiting

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 stand beneath my window

With your bugle and your drum

While I was waiting

For the miracle to come

You wouldnt like it baby

You wouldnt like it here

Theres not much entertainment

And the critics are severe

The maestro says its mozart

But it sounds like bubble gum

When youre waiting

For the miracle to come

Chorus

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

For the miracle to come

I dreamed about you, baby

It was just the other night

Most of you was naked

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 to come

Baby, lets get married

Weve been alone too long

Lets be alone together

Lets see if were that strong

Lets do something crazy

Something absolutely wrong

While were waiting

For the miracle to come

Chorus

When youve fallen on the highway

And youre lying in the rain

And they ask you how youre feeling

Of course you 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 to come
