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.
hiç gerek yok bunlara...bir erol flyn filmi vardı çocukluğumun.. kılıç kullanmayı öğretiyordu bir çocukçaya.. kılıç diyordu, bir kuş gibidir.. eğer çok sıkarsan ölür avucunda.. yok eğer gevşek bırakırsan.. uçar gider..
insanı fena hüzünlendiren bir şarkıdır. ifadesizliğin sesi gibidir ordaki cohen sesi. hele bir de şarkı tam biterkene bir kahkaha vardır ki, bakmayın siz ona kahkaha değil işte o. neyse ya bu cohen büyük adam vesselam. saygılar.
bünyemde her seferinde farklı tepkilere yol açan şarkı. bir dinliyorum film aklıma geliyor, içimden seri katil olup eve geldiğimde karanlıkta bu şarkıyı dinlemek geliyor; bir dinliyorum umudun her zaman var olabileceği geliyor. muhteşemdir, eskimeyecek cinsten muhteşem.
günümüzde halen leonard cohen ismini duymamış olanlar ve bu güzel şarkısını hiç tadamamış insanlar olması beni üzüyor. ''the maestro says it's mozart , but it sounds like bubble gum''
özellikle back vokalleri ve aralarda giren kemanı daha fazla duyabilmek için canlı versiyonlarını daha çok sevdiğim leonard cohen şarkısı. kendisinin sesine zaten bir şey diyemem yüce tengri çarpar.
