Leonard Cohen - Waiting for the miracle

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.

Skeeter Davis – The end of the world

Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world,
'Cause you don't love me any more?

Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world.
It ended when I lost your love.

I wake up in the morning and I wonder,
Why everything's the same as it was.
I can't understand. No, I can't understand,
How life goes on the way it does.

Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world.
It ended when you said goodbye.

Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world.
It ended when you said goodbye.

Junior Boys - When no one cares

When no one cares
and the phone never rings
the nights are endless things

you're like a child that cries
and no one heeds the crying
you're like a star that dies
and seems to keep on dying

when no one cares
you count souvenirs
and they glisten with your tears

you can't believe a love like hers
could come from someone new

when no one cares but you
when no one cares but you
when no one cares but you

Jay Jay Johanson - I Fantasize of You

Every night I go to sleep
And begin to dream
The story of my dream has got the same old theme
It’s you, baby, it’s you

Turn off the light
Sit down on the couch
Pour me a whiskey too
Take off your dress
I’ll help you with that
I fantasize of you

The scent of your skin
Gets to my head
As the smoke from your cigarette do
With monk in the speakers
And love in your eyes
I fantasize of you

I know I’m only dreaming
Of spending my life with you
But somehow I’m still believing
It all one day will come true

The ice in my glass
Makes my lips so cold
As I kiss you from top to toe
You beg me to stop
But I know you want more
I fantasize of you

I'm always here.

New Year has come.

Something new could happen.

Moon River

Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you're going I'm going your way.
Two drifters off to see the world.
There's such a lot of world to see.
We're after the same rainbow's end--
waiting 'round the bend,
my huckleberry friend,
Moon River and me.
