pelafina

I`ve felt you coming girl, as you drew near
I knew you`d find me, cause I longed you here
Are you my desitiny? 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 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?
