Natural Born Killers movie - Waiting For The Miracle lyrics

Song by Leonard Cohen<br /><br>

Baby, I've been waiting, <br>

I've been waiting <br>

Night and day<br>

I didn't see the time, <br>

I waited half my life away<br>

There were lots of invitations<br>

And I know you sent me some, <br>

But I was waiting <br>

For the miracle, <br>

For the miracle to come<br>

<br>

I know you really loved me<br>

but, you see, <br>

my hands were tied<br>

I know it must have hurt you, <br>

it must have hurt your pride <br>

to have to stand <br>

beneath my window<br>

with your bugle <br>

and your drum, <br>

and me I'm up there waiting <br>

for the miracle, <br>

for the miracle to come<br>

<br>

Ah I don't believe you'd like it, <br>

You wouldn't like it here<br>

There ain't no entertainment<br>

and the judgements are severe<br>

The Maestro says it's Mozart <br>

but it sounds like bubble gum <br>

when you're waiting <br>

for the miracle, <br>

for the miracle to come<br>

<br>

Waiting for the miracle <br>

There's nothing left to do<br>

I haven't been this happy <br>

since the end of World War II<br>

<br>

Nothing left to do <br>

when you know <br>

that you've been taken<br>

Nothing left to do <br>

when you're begging for a crumb <br>

Nothing left to do <br>

when you've got to go on waiting <br>

waiting for the miracle to come<br>

<br>

I dreamed about you, baby<br>

It was just the other night<br>

Most of you was naked <br>

Ah but some of you was light<br>

The sands of time were falling <br>

from your fingers and your thumb, <br>

and you were waiting <br>

for the miracle, <br>

for the miracle to come <br>

<br>

Ah baby, let's get married, <br>

We've been alone too long<br>

Let's be alone together<br>

Let's see if we're that strong<br>

Yeah let's do something crazy, <br>

Something absolutely wrong <br>

While we're waiting <br>

For the miracle, <br>

for the miracle to come<br>

<br>

Nothing left to do ... <br>

<br>

When you've fallen <br>

on the highway <br>

and you're lying <br>

in the rain, <br>

and they ask you <br>

how you're doing <br>

of course you'll say <br>

you can't complain -- <br>

If you're squeezed <br>

for information, <br>

that's when you've got to <br>

play it dumb: <br>

You just say <br>

you're out there waiting <br>

for the miracle, <br>

for the miracle to come <br>

<br>

Ah baby, let's get married, <br>

We've been alone too long...<br>

<br>
