  • Kristinaцитирует7 лет назад
    Waiting for the miracle
    There’s nothing left to do.
    I haven’t been this happy
    since the end of World War II.
  • Kristinaцитирует7 лет назад
    The Maestro says it’s Mozart
    but it sounds like bubble gum
    when you’re waiting
    for the miracle, for the miracle to come.
  • Kristinaцитирует7 лет назад
    Let’s meet tomorrow if you choose
    upon the shore, beneath the bridge
    that they are building on some endless river
    Then he leaves the platform
    for the sleeping car that’s warm
    You realize, he’s only advertising one more shelter
    And it comes to you, he never was a stranger
    And you say ok the bridge or someplace later.
  • Kristinaцитирует7 лет назад
    Ah you hate to see another tired man
    lay down his hand
    like he was giving up the holy game of poker
    And while he talks his dreams to sleep
    you notice there’s a highway
    that is curling up like smoke above his shoulder.
  • Kristinaцитирует7 лет назад
    O you’ve seen that man before
    his golden arm dispatching cards
    but now it’s rusted from the elbows to the finger
    And he wants to trade the game he plays for shelter
  • Kristinaцитирует7 лет назад
    And then taking from his wallet
    an old schedule of trains, he’ll say
    I told you when I came I was a stranger
    I told you when I came I was a stranger.
  • Kristinaцитирует7 лет назад
    And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind
    you find he did not leave you very much
    not even laughter
    Like any dealer he was watching for the card
    that is so high and wild
    he’ll never need to deal another
  • Kristinaцитирует7 лет назад
    It’s true that all the men you knew were dealers
    who said they were through with dealing
    Every time you gave them shelter
  • Kristinaцитирует7 лет назад
    When they said REPENT REPENT
    I wonder what they meant
  • Kristinaцитирует7 лет назад
    I’ve seen the nations rise and fall
    I’ve heard their stories, heard them all
    but love’s the only engine of survival
