The Power of Prayer Letra - Bruce Springsteen

In the afternoon 'neath the summer Sun

We'd lie by the lake till the evening comes

I run my fingers through your sun-streaked hair

Baby, that's the power of prayer

Summer nights, summer's in the air

I stack the tables with the chairs

It's closing time, then you're standing there

Baby, that's the power of prayer

It's a fixed game without any rules

An empty table on a ship of fools

I'm holding hearts, I'll play the pair

Darling, it's just the power of prayer

It's a fixed game without any rules

An empty table on a ship of fools

I'm holding hearts, I'll play the pair

I'm goin' all in 'cause I don't care

They say that love, love comes and goes

But darling, what, what do they know?

I'm reaching for Heaven, we'll make it there

Darling, it's just the power of prayer

Baby, it's just the power of prayer

Darling, it's just the power of prayer

Last call, the bouncer shuts the door

"This Magic Moment" drifts across the floor

As Ben E. King's voice fills the air

Baby, that's the power of prayer
