waiting for the miracle
边远
I've been waiting night and day
I waited half my life away
There were lots of invitations
And I know you sent me some
I know you really loved me
I know it must have hurt you
It must have hurt your pride
To have to stand beneath my window
With your bugle and your drum
And me I'm up there waiting
Ah I don't believe you'd like it
You wouldn't like it here
There ain't no entertainment
And the judgements are severe
The Maestro says it's Mozart
But it sounds like bubble gum
There's nothing left to do
I haven't been this happy
Since the end of World War II
When you know that you've been taken
When you're begging for a crumb
When you've got to go on waiting
Waiting for the miracle to come
It was just the other night
Ah but some of you was light
The sands of time were falling
From your fingers and your thumb
We've been alone too long
Let's see if we're that strong
Yeah let's do something crazy
Something absolutely wrong
When you know that you've been taken
When you're begging for a crumb
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 say you can't complain
If you're squeezed for information
That's when you've got to play it dumb
You just say you're out there waiting
