There's a girl waiting for a train
As the snow falls on the ice
Her heart is full of hope again
And she don't take no advice

Perfect love arrives
Every night at eight
But all his promises
Are always a little late

Waiting for a miracle
To make it all come true
Waiting for a miracle
Is all she wants to do

Nine o'clock and her winter coat
Is getting a little cold
I'm coming soon was an anecdote
That still remains untold

Words of love and hope
Are real to her alone
And so much greater than
The life she's ever known

Waiting for a miracle
To make it all come true
Waiting for a miracle
Is all she wants to do

After midnight she walks away
But the feeling has just begun
Was it him or a passageway
For her to come undone

All her waiting has
Opened up a door
Now her life appears
Greater than before

Waiting for a miracle
To make it all come true
Waiting for a miracle
Is all she wants to do
