Waiting On A Miracle Lyrics - April Wine

(myles goodwyn)

A prima donna or a debutante, you say 

A first offender, you had your chance, and you threw it away 

So why don't you just get on your pony 

And ride out somewhere where you can be lonely 

All by yourself, instead of tellin' me 

Here we are, and we never get very far 

Things are never as you say they are 

And you'd rather be somewhere else in time 

Anywhere, well you don't mind 

The legal tender was the motive for your shame 

You knew the truth, but never took the blame, you knew it was wrong 

But never one to open your heart 

You held it inside till it tore you apart 

And you couldn't go on, and now you're tellin' me 

Here we are, and we never get very far 

Things are never as you say they are 

And you'd rather be somewhere else in time 

Anywhere, well you don't mind 

Waiting on a miracle, waiting on a miracle 

Waiting on a miracle, wasting all your time 

Under pressure till it got the best of you 

False images, silhouettes, the old and the new 

Nothing ventured, there's nothing gained 

You take your chance, it may never come again 

Then throw it away, and don't go tellin' me 

Here we are, and we never get very far 

Things are never as you say they are 

And I'd rather be somewhere else in time 

Anywhere, well I don't mind 

Waiting on a miracle, waiting on a miracle 

Waiting on a miracle, wasting all your time 

It's alright, right right, we're gonna shine all night long 

It's alright, we're right right, we're gonna shine all night long 

It's alright, we're right right, we're gonna shine all night long
