waiting for my real life to begin

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.
