I´ve felt you coming, girl, as you drew near
I knew you´d find me, cause I longed you here
Are you my destiny? Is this how you´ll 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 I´ve been waiting for?

As you´ve 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 I´ve sat and I´ve watched an ice-age thaw
Are you the one that I´ve been waiting for?

Out of sorrow entire worlds have been built
Out of longing great wonders have been willed
They´re 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 I´ve been waiting for?

O we will know, won´t we?
The stars will explode in the sky
O but they don´t, do they?
Stars have their moment and then they die.

There´s a man who spoke wonders
though I´ve never met him
He said "He who seeks finds
And he 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 I´ve been waiting for?
