Lyrics for Song: Waiting For A Miracle
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Leonard Cohen
Baby, I've been waiting...
I've been waiting night and day.
I didn't see the time...
and 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..

Waiting For A Miracle
Leonard Cohen's "Waiting For A Miracle" stands as a haunting centerpiece in his expansive discography, embodying the spiritual melancholy and poetic depth that defined his career. Released within the context of his later studio work, the track exemplifies Cohen's signature style, blending folk and art rock with a brooding, introspective atmosphere. The song explores themes of divine patience and existential longing, utilizing Cohen's distinctive baritone and sparse instrumentation to create an immersive listening experience. It reflects the broader trajectory of his late-period recordings, where he continued to distill complex theological and philosophical inquiries into accessible yet profound musical statements. The recording remains a testament to his ability to evoke deep emotion through minimalism and lyrical precision. |
