"Waiting For A Miracle" lyrics - CALEXICO

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
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
While I was waiting
For the miracle
For the miracle to come

I don't believe you like it
You wouldn't like it here
There's not much entertainment
And the judgements are severe
The maestro says it's Mozart
But it sounds like bubble gum
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

Baby, let's get married
We've been alone too long
Let's be alone together
Let's see if we're that strong
Let's do something crazy
Something absolutely wrong
Waiting for the miracle
Waiting for the miracle
Waiting for the miracle
Waiting for the miracle
For the miracle to come to come
Waiting for the miracle
For the miracle to come to come
Waiting for the miracle
For the miracle to come to come
Waiting for the miracle
For the miracle to come to come
Waiting for the miracle
Waiting for the miracle to come
