April Wine - Waiting On A Miracle lyrics

(myles goodwyn) Published by northern goody two tunes, ltd./capac - ascap 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
