Waiting For The Sun
Sophie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 I I

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 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

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

Line by Line Meaning

Baby, I've been waiting
I have been patiently anticipating


I've been waiting night and day
I have been waiting tirelessly, nonstop


I didn't see the time
I lost track of time


I waited half my life away
I spent a significant amount of time waiting


There were lots of invitations
I received numerous invitations


And I know you sent me some
And I know you extended invitations to me


But I was waiting for the miracle
But I was waiting for something extraordinary


For the miracle to come
For the extraordinary event to happen


I know you really loved me
I am aware that you truly cared for me


But, you see, my hands were tied
However, I was constrained and unable to pursue


I know it must have hurt you
I understand that it probably caused you pain


It must have hurt your pride
It must have wounded your ego


To have to stand beneath my window
To have to be below me, waiting


With your bugle and your drum
With your musical instruments, waiting


And me I'm up there waiting for the miracle
And I am up there, expecting something extraordinary


Ah, I don't believe you'd like it
Ah, I doubt you would enjoy it


You wouldn't like it here
You wouldn't find this place appealing


There ain't no entertainment
There is no form of amusement


And the judgements are severe
And the criticisms are harsh


The Maestro says it's Mozart
The Maestro claims it is Mozart


But it sounds like bubble gum
But it sounds trivial and superficial


When you're waiting for the miracle
When you are eagerly anticipating something extraordinary


For the miracle to come
For the extraordinary event to happen


Waiting for the miracle
Anticipating the extraordinary event


There's nothing left to do
There is nothing else to be done


I haven't been this happy
I have not felt this joyful


Since the end of World War I
Since the conclusion of World War I


Nothing left to do
No more tasks or actions remain


When you know that you've been taken
When you are aware that you have been deceived or manipulated


Nothing left to do
No more tasks or actions remain


When you're begging for a crumb
When you are desperately seeking just a small amount


Nothing left to do
No more tasks or actions remain


When you've got to go on waiting
When you have to continue enduring the waiting


Waiting for the miracle to come
Anticipating the arrival of the extraordinary event


I dreamed about you, baby
I had a dream about you, my love


It was just the other night
It occurred only a few nights ago


Most of you was naked
The majority of your body was unclothed


Ah, but some of you was light
However, a portion of you emitted brightness


The sands of time were falling
The passing of time was slipping away


From your fingers and your thumb
From your hands, specifically your fingers and thumb


And you were waiting for the miracle
And you were anticipating the extraordinary event


For the miracle to come
For the extraordinary event to happen


Ah baby, let's get married
Ah, my love, let's embark on matrimony


We've been alone too long
We have spent far too much time in solitude


Let's be alone together
Let's be together in our solitude


Let's see if we're that strong
Let's test if we possess such strength


Yeah let's do something crazy
Yes, let's engage in something incredibly reckless


Something absolutely wrong
Something that defies all moral or logical reasoning


While we're waiting
As we continue to wait


For the miracle, for the miracle to come
For the extraordinary event to happen


When you've fallen on the highway
When you have stumbled upon life's path


And you're lying in the rain
And you are lying there, wet from the rain


And they ask you how you're doing
And they inquire about your well-being


Of course you'll say you can't complain
Naturally, you will respond that you have no reasons to complain


If you're squeezed for information
If you are pressured to provide information


That's when you've got to play it dumb
That's when you have to act ignorant or clueless


You just say you're out there waiting
You simply state that you are out there, waiting


For the miracle, for the miracle to come
For the extraordinary event to happen
