Any minute now, my ship is coming inI'll keep checking the horizonI'll stand on the bow, feel the waves come crashingCome crashing down, down, down, on meAnd you say, be still my loveOpen up your heartLet the light shine inBut don't you understandI already have a planI'm waiting for my real life to beginWhen I awoke today, suddenly nothing happenedBut in my dreams, I slew the dragonAnd down this beaten path, and up this cobbled laneI'm walking in my old footsteps, once againAnd you say, just be here nowForget about the past, your mask is wearing thinLet me throw one more diceI know that I can winI'm waiting for my real life to beginAny minute now, my ship is coming inI'll keep checking the horizonAnd I'll check my machine, there's sure to be that callIt's gonna happen soon, soon, soonIt's just that times are leanAnd you say, be still my loveOpen up your heart, let the light shine inDon't you understandI already have a planI'm waiting for my real life to begin Colin Hay, Waiting for my real life to begin.
