Waiting for the Miracle - Leonard Cohen

Don't be upset or mad at all Don't feel regret or sad at all Hey, I'm still a part of the family Madrigal And I'm fine, I am totally fine I will stand on the side as you shine I'm not fine, I'm not fine I can't move the mountains I can't make the flowers bloom I can't take another night up in my room Waiting on a miracle I can't heal what's broken Can't control the morning rain or a hurricane Can't keep down the unspoken invisible pain Always waiting on a miracle, a miracle Always walking alone Always wanting for more Like I'm still at that door longing to shine Like all of you shine All I need is a change All I need is a chance All I know is I can't stay on the side Open your eyes, open your eyes, open your eyes I would move the mountains Make new trees and flowers grow Someone please just let me know, where do I go? I am waiting on a miracle, a miracle I would heal what's broken Show this family something new Who I am inside, so what can I do? I'm sick of waiting on a miracle, so here I go I am ready, come on, I'm ready I've been patient, and steadfast, and steady Bless me now as you blessed us all those years ago When you gave us a miracle Am I too late for a miracle?

Yeah Yo This is not the end, this is not the beginning Just a voice like a riot rocking every revision But you listen to the tone and the violent rhythm And though the words sound steady, something's empty within 'em We say, yeah, with fists flying up in the air Like we're holding onto something that's invisible there 'Cause we're living at the mercy of the pain and fear Until we dead it, forget it, let it all disappear Waiting for the end to come Wishing I had strength to stand This is not what I had planned It's out of my control Flying at the speed of light Thoughts were spinning in my head So many things were left unsaid It's hard to let you go (Oh) I know what it takes to move on (Oh) I know how it feels to lie (Oh) all I wanna do is trade this life for something new (Oh) holding on to what I haven't got Sitting in an empty room Trying to forget the past This was never meant to last I wish it wasn't so (Oh) I know what it takes to move on (Oh) I know how it feels to lie (Oh) all I wanna do is trade this life for something new (Oh) holding on to what I haven't got Yo, yo What was left when that fire was gone? I thought it felt right, but that right was wrong All caught up in the eye of the storm And trying to figure out what it's like moving on And I don't even know what kind of things I've said My mouth kept moving, and my mind went dead So, I'm picking up the pieces now where to begin The hardest part of ending is starting again All I wanna do is trade this life for something new Holding on to what I haven't got This is not the end, this is not the beginning Just a voice like a riot rocking every revision But you listen to the tone and the violent rhythm Though the words sound steady, something empty's within them We say, yeah, with fists flying up in the air Like we're holding onto something that's invisible there 'Cause we're living at the mercy of the pain and the fear Until we get it, forget it, let it all disappear

"Eins, zwei, drei, alle!" Ooh-ooh, you cannot reach me now Ooh-ooh, no matter how you try Goodbye, cruel world, it's over Walk on by Sitting in a bunker here behind my wall Waiting for the worms to come (Worms to come) In perfect isolation here behind my wall Waiting for the worms to come (Worms to come) [Testing. One. Two. One. Two.] "The worms will convene at 1:15 outside Brixton Town Hall where we will be going in force!" (Waiting) To cut out the deadwood (Waiting) To clean up the city (Waiting) To follow the worms (Waiting) To put on a black shirt (Waiting) To weed out the weaklings (Waiting) To smash in their windows and kick in their doors (Waiting) For the final solution to strengthen the strain (Waiting) To follow the worms (Waiting) To turn on the showers and fire the ovens (Waiting) For the queers and the coons and the reds and the Jews (Waiting) To follow the worms Would you like to see Britannia rule again (Would you like to see us rule again) My friend? All you have to do is follow the worms Would you like to send our coloured cousins home again (Would you like to send them home again) My friend? All you need to do is follow the worms "The Worms will convene outside Brixton Bus Station, where we'll be moving along at about 12 o'clock down Stockwell Road" "At that point, we'll be heading towards Lambeth Road, where we will walk calmly with resistance, leaving twelve minutes to three as we move along Lambeth Road towards Vauxhall Bridge" "Now when we get to the other side of Vauxhall Bridge, we're in the Westminster Borough area. It's quite possible that we may encounter some Jew boys all the way from 4, 5, and 6 on the way as we go" "Now is the time to clean up the city, for this is the beginning! We need to secure our people! We can't stand around and let ourselves be robbed, maimed, and killed!" "And when we make it to the Highclock Corner, I want you to spread it out and find them!" "Storm the halls, and then tear the walls and the doors! Break down the doors and hunt them where they are!" (Hammer! Hammer! Hammer! Hammer!) Stop!

Every day, a shade of blue You won't believe what I'm going' through It just feels like I can't afford to let myself go No, oh-oh, no Everyone is just the same They touch me, but I can't say There has been no one brighter than you I can't deny these things that I do Feels like the world's at stake 'cause I have been waiting, I have been waiting for you Heavenly, that's what you are You're burning me like a shining star How am I supposed to be that king without you? Oh-oh, it's true, yeah Everyone is just the same They love me, but I can't say There has been no one brighter than you I can't deny these things that I do Feels like the world's at stake, yeah I have been waiting, I have been waiting for you Hey, yeah, yeah There has been no one brighter than you I can't deny these things that I do Feels like the world's at stake 'cause I have been waiting, I have been waiting for you I have seen no one like brighter than you And I can't deny these things that I do Feels like the world's at stake, yeah I have been waiting, I have been waiting for you For you Every day, I sit down and I feel like I'm waiting For you I've been waiting for you For you I have been waiting, I have been waiting for you

Everybody's lookin' for the answers Everybody's lookin' for a place to hide When I see you deep inside your shelter Thinking that you got nobody on your side Don't you know if you run the distance You may be so far from the maddening crowd I say the path of least resistance Is knowing that you're around when I call out loud I read the writing it's on the wall [It says] here I am and I'm knocking at your door Get a message and you're not alone I'm waiting for you And you never have to worry no way no way You're not alone I'm right beside you And all you have to do is call me call me You're not alone because I'm waiting for you Lonely nights looking for salvation Exactly what does that mean? All I know is that I need relation Nothin's else could every come between I see the writing that's on the wall [It says] here I am and I'm knockin' at your door I get a message and you're not alone, I'm waitin' for you And you never have to worry no way no way You're not alone I'm right beside you And all you have to is call me call me You're not alone, I'm waiting for you And you never have to worry You're not alone Because I'm waiting for you I'm waiting for you Waiting for you You're not alone I'm waitin' for you And you never have to worry no way, no way You're not alone I'm right beside you And all you have to do is call me call me You're not alone I'm waiting for you And you never have to worry When I look in your eyes You're not alone, I'm waiting for you Waiting for you Waiting for you

One, two, three Why are you hanging on so tight To the rope that I'm hanging from? Off this island, this was an escape plan (this was an escape plan) Carefully timed it, so let me go And dive into the waves below Who tends the orchards? Who fixes up the gables? Emotional torture from the head of your high table Who fetches the water from the rocky mountain spring? And walk back down again to feel your words and their sharp sting And I'm getting fucking tired The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died, would that be the worst thing? For somebody I thought was my saviour You sure make me do a whole lot of labour The calloused skin on my hands is cracking If our love ended, would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber You make me do too much labour You make me do too much labour Apologies from my tongue, and never yours Busy lapping from flowing cup and stabbing with your fork I know you're a smart man (I know you're a smart man), and weaponise The false incompetence, it's dominance under a guise If we had a daughter, I'd watch and could not save her The emotional torture, from the head of your high table She'd do what you taught her, she'd meet the same cruel fate So now I've gotta run, so I can undo this mistake At least I've gotta try The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died, would that be the worst thing? For somebody I thought was my saviour You sure make me do a whole lot of labour The calloused skin on my hands is cracking If our love ends, would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid Nymph then a virgin, nurse then a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger 24-7, baby machine So he can live out his picket fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid Nymph then virgin, nurse and a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger 24-7, baby machine So he can live out his picket fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid (The capillaries in my eyes are bursting) Nymph then virgin, nurse and a servant (If our love died, would that be the worst thing?) Just an appendage, live to attend him (For somebody I thought was my saviour) So that he never lifts a finger (You sure make me do a whole lot of labour) 24-7, baby machine (The calloused skin on my hands is crackin') So he can live out his picket fence dreams (If our love ends, would that be a bad thing?) It's not an act of love if you make her (And the silence haunts our bed chamber) You make me do too much labour
