COUNTIN' ON A MIRACLE

Acoustic version

Here we go, it's called countin' on a miracle

It's a fairytale so tragic, there's no prince to break the spell
I don't believe in magic but for you I will, yeah for you I will

Countin' on miracle, countin' on a miracle
Countin' on a miracle to come through
Countin' on miracle, countin' on a miracle
Countin' on a miracle to come through

There ain't no storybook story, and no never-ending song
Our happily ever after forever come and gone, forever come and gone

Countin' on a miracle, countin' on a miracle
Countin' on miracle to come through
Countin' on a miracle, countin' on a miracle
Countin' on miracle to come through

Sleeping beauty awakes from her dream, with her lover's kiss on her lips
Your kiss's taken from me, now all I have is this, all I have is this
Your kiss, your kiss, your touch, your touch, your hope
Your faith,  your strength, your love, your dream, your life

Countin' on a miracle, countin' on a miracle
Countin' on miracle to come through
Countin' on a miracle, countin' on a miracle
Countin' on miracle to come through

I'm runnin' through the forest with the wolf at my heels
My king is lost at midnight when the tower bells peal, when the tower bells peal
We've got no fairytale ending, in God's hands our fate is complete
Your heaven's here in my heart, our love's this dust beneath my feet, this dust beneath my feet
If I'm gonna live I'll lift my life, darlin' to you I'll lift my life

Countin' on a miracle, countin' on a miracle
Countin' on miracle to come through
Countin' on a miracle, countin' on a miracle
Countin' on miracle to come through

Countin' on miracle

Liner notes by Bruce Springsteen in the The Essential booklet:

I sat in the lounge of Southern Tracks Studio where we recorded "The Rising" and played this country blues version of "Countin' On A Miracle."
Filmmaker/photographer Danny Clinch was there with his super 8 film camera and caught it on tape. We closed our shows on tour with his film. This is the audio portion.
