Lyrics
When you walked in here I thought you were someone I once knew
Someone I knew well a long time ago
And when I spoke, I did speak out of turn
There are some things that we learn
And there are others we just know
And I just knew that you were gonna need me
You were gonna need me - so here I am
And I will wait. I will wait until you're ready
I will wait until you're ready
I'm your main man
When you blew in here like a storm in April
You scattered my thoughts to these four winds
And I am ready to see and to be the one you're needing
I will be the seedling that will grow upon the stone
And I just knew that you were gonna need me
You were gonna need me - so here I am
And I will wait. I will wait until you're ready
I will wait until you're ready
I'm your main man
Don't be scared, don't be scared while the wind is blowing
There is no way of knowing what he carries in his hands
Don't be scared, don't be scared: there's a heart and it's beating
Like a bullet while you're sleeping
I'm your main man
