The Deborah Harry song catalog you find on this page was compiled by me, the webmaster, with the help of my personal record collection, booklets, biographies, setlists, ASCAP, the LoC (Library of Congress), articles and (live) bootlegs. It's my goal to create a page which features Deborah's complete musical body of work, no matter if Deborah was in any way musically involved herself or whether she contributed her own lyrics to a project. In order to keep up the standard of this page and to make it grow you can help by submitting song titles and/or information which are missing on this site. Every contribution is greatly appreciated. Official song lyrics were taken from booklets. I transcribed those songs myself where no official lyrics were available (with no guarantee for their accuracy). I apologize for possible errors and will gladly take corrections. I kindly ask you not to copy any of these lyrics from this page.
All song pages include links to the albums, singles and/or live albums which they were released on. Best Ofs and soundtracks were only listed if there is a special mix available on the record or the song title itself was previously unreleased.

INFO

originally by Leonard Cohen

WAITING FOR THE MIRACLE

Baby, I've been waiting
I've been waiting night and day
I didn't see the time
Yeah, I waited half my life away
There were lots of invitations
I know you sent me some
But I was waiting for the miracle
For the miracle to come

I know you really loved me
but you see my hands were tied
I know it must have hurt you
It must have hurt your pride to have to stand beneath my windowwith your bugle and your drum
And me I'm up there waiting for the miracle
For the miracle to come

And me I'm up there waiting for the miracle to come

I know you wouldn't like it
You wouldn't like it here
There ain't no entertainment and the judgements are severe
The Maestro says it's Mozart but it sounds like bubble gum when you're waiting for the miracle
For the miracle to come

I know you wouldn't like it
You wouldn't like it here

And me I'm up there waiting for the miracle to come
