Waiting for the Miracle

Baby, let's get married We've been alone too long Let's be alone together Let' see it we're that strong Let's do something crazy Something absolutely wrong While we are 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 Yeah, it must have hurt your pride To have to stand beneath my window With your bugle and your drum While I was 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 Yeah, 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 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 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
