Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - (Are You) The One That I've Been Waiting For? Lyrics
I've felt you coming, girl, as you drew nearI knew you'd find me, 'cause I longed you hereAre 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 floorAre you the one that I've been waiting for?As you've been moving surely toward meMy soul has comforted and assured meThat in time, my heart, it will reward meAnd that all will be revealedSo I've sat and I've watched an ice-age thawAre you the one that I've been waiting for?Out of sorrow entire worlds have been builtOut of longing great wonders have been willedThey're only little tears, darling, let them spillAnd lay your head upon my shoulderOutside my window, the world has gone to warAre you the one that I've been waiting for?Oh, we will know, won't we?The stars will explode in the skyOh, but they don't, do they?Stars have their moment and then they dieThere's a man who spoke wonders, though I've never met himHe said: "He who seeks, finds, and who knocks, will be let in,"I think of you in motion and just how close you are gettingAnd how every little thing anticipates youAll down my veins my heart-strings callAre you the one that I've been waiting for?
