Waiting For My Real Life To Begin - Colin Hay

Any minute now, my ship is coming in

I’ll keep checking the horizon

I’ll stand on the bow, feel the waves come crashing

Come crashing down down down, on me

And you say, be still my love

Open up your heart

Let the light shine in

But don’t you understand

I already have a plan

I’m waiting for my real life to begin

When I awoke today, suddenly nothing happened

But in my dreams, I slew the dragon

And down this beaten path, up this cobbled lane

I’m walking in my old footsteps, once again

And you say, just be here now

Forget about the past, your mask is wearing thin

Just let me throw one more dice

I know that I can win

I’m waiting for my real life to begin

Any minute now, my ship is coming in

I’ll keep checking the horizon

And I’ll check my machine, there’s sure to be that call

It’s gonna happen soon, soon, oh so very soon

It’s just that times are lean

And you say, be still my love

Open up your heart, let the light shine

Don’t you understand

I already have a plan

I’m waiting for my real life to begin

On a clear day I can see, see for a long way

On a clear day I can see, see for a long way
