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
and I know 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,
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
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
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
when you're 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.
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
Ah baby, let's get married,
we've been alone too long.
Let's be alone together.
Let's see if we're that strong.
Yeah let's do something crazy,
something absolutely wrong
while we're waiting
for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
Nothing left to do ...
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 --
If 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.
Leonard Norman Eliezer Cohen (Montreal, September 21, 1934 – Los Angeles, November 7, 2016) was a Canadian singer-songwriter, poet, novelist, and composer of Jewish origin. Considered one of the most influential singer-songwriters of the 20th century, Cohen achieved international fame for his musical style characterized by melancholic melodies and poetic lyrics that explored themes such as religion, love, loss, and spirituality. His artistic career spanned over five decades, during which he released 14 studio albums, selling millions of copies worldwide. Cohen began his career as a poet, publishing several volumes of verse before turning to music in the 1960s. His debut album, *Songs of Leonard Cohen*, was released in 1967 and included classics such as "Suzanne" and "So Long, Marianne". Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, he explored new musical genres, collaborating with artists like John Cale, and his albums *New Skin for the Old Ceremony* (1974) and *Various Positions* (1984) achieved great success. In 2001, he released the album *Ten New Songs*, which marked a return to a more traditional musical form. Besides music, Cohen was also a prolific writer of novels, essays, and poetry. His literary work has been widely recognized and awarded. In 2016, shortly before his death, he released his final album *You Want It Darker*.
