Ron Wiseman - Waiting For A Miracle
It's cold lights watching you alone
You stand under the starless night
But angels won't come out tonight to greet you
The monuments of those who died
To build these graveyards to the sky
Are sinking and you wonder why
The ground you stand upon is still beneath you
And it's long past the time
The ships are sailing out and I'm
Waiting for some miracle to happen
The cities eyes that have no soul
And all that glitters takes it's toll
When once you were a messenger
Now nothing can get through to even reach you
Attached to things you cannot have
Sweet perfumes that will go bad
Each one better than the last you had
And you think your sword of love will not defeat you
And it's long past the time
The ships are sailing out and I'm
Waiting for some miracle to happen
And as I watch my feet slowly sinking
I catch the moments that I can
They say the world is made for men of action
But I keep waiting for some miracle to happen
(..)
City sphinx that lost its glow
Its always fed and never full
And you wonder why you cannot leave
Is it just this broken fence that surrounds me
The light is sealed from those below
The river's dry and hardly flows
And nothing much can really grow
But pestilence and locusts all around me
And it's long past the time
The ships are sailing out and I'm
Waiting for some miracle to happen
And it's long past the time
The ships are sailing out and I'm
Waiting for some miracle to happen
And it's long past the time
The ships are sailing out and I'm
Waiting for some miracle to happen, alright
And it's long past the time
The ships are sailing out and I'm
Waiting for some miracle to happen
