waiting for the miracle 

1. leonard cohen'in tartışmasız en güzel parçası. the future albümündendir ancak natural born killers sayesinde meşhur olmuştur.
   
   ezberlenesi sözleri şöyledir:
   
   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.

2. Natural Born Killers da bulunan versiyonu, orjinal versiyonundan 4 dakika daha kısadır.

3. boşa beklediğini bile bile insanı mucizelere inandıran sözlerdir bunlar. ama o ses, o tonlama alır götürür hayallere. belki olur ümidiyle.

4. 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..

7. insanı hüzünden hüzüne sürükleyen, alıp başını gitmek istemeye sebep, hayatın acı gerçekleriyle yüzleşince herşeyin, her güzelliğin bir mucize olduğunu anlamak, acına acı katmaktır bu şarkı. mucizeleri bekleriz. hiçbir zaman gerçekleşmeyecek, gerçekleşecek olsa bile elimizin tersiyle ittiğimiz için mucize sayılan şeyler. hayat sıradandır bizim için. mucizeler hayallerle sınırlıdır. her gece yatağımıza yatıp bekleriz bir mucize olsun diye.
   beklemek yeterli değildir. yine de bekleriz mucizeyi. mucizeleri severiz biz..
