Ive felt you coming girl, as you drew near
I knew youd find me, cause I longed you here
Are you my destiny? is this how youll appear?
Wrapped in a coat with tears in your eyes?
Well take that coat babe, and throw it on the floor
Are you the one that Ive been waiting for?

As youve been moving surely toward me
My soul has comforted and assured me
That in time my heart it will reward me
And that all will be revealed
So Ive sat and Ive watched an ice-age thaw
Are you the one that Ive been waiting for?

Out of sorrow entire worlds have been built
Out of longing great wonders have been willed
Theyre only little tears, darling, let them spill
And lay your head upon my shoulder
Outside my window the world has gone to war
Are you the one that Ive been waiting for?

O we will know, wont we?
The stars will explode in the sky
O but they dont, do they?
Stars have their moment and then they die

Theres a man who spoke wonders though Ive never met him
He said, he who seeks finds and who knocks will be let in
I think of you in motion and just how close you are getting
And how every little thing anticipates you
All down my veins my heart-strings call
Are you the one that Ive been waiting for?
