APRIL WINE - WAITING ON A MIRACLE lyrics

rate me

A prima donna or a debutante, you say

A first offender, you had your chance, and you threw it away

So why don't you just get on your pony

And ride out somewhere where you can be lonely

All by yourself, instead of tellin' me

Here we are, and we never get very far

Things are never as you say they are

And you'd rather be somewhere else in time

Anywhere, well you don't mind

The legal tender was the motive for your shame

You knew the truth, but never took the blame, you knew it was wrong

But never one to open your heart

You held it inside till it tore you apart

And you couldn't go on, and now you're tellin' me

Here we are, and we never get very far

Things are never as you say they are

And you'd rather be somewhere else in time

Anywhere, well you don't mind

Waiting on a miracle, waiting on a miracle

Waiting on a miracle, wasting all your time

Under pressure till it got the best of you

False images, silhouettes, the old and the new

Nothing ventured, there's nothing gained

You take your chance, it may never come again

Then throw it away, and don't go tellin' me

Here we are, and we never get very far

Things are never as you say they are

And I'd rather be somewhere else in time

Anywhere, well I don't mind

Waiting on a miracle, waiting on a miracle

Waiting on a miracle, wasting all your time

It's alright, right right, we're gonna shine all night long

It's alright, we're right right, we're gonna shine all night long

It's alright, we're right right, we're gonna shine all night long
