Waiting for My Real Life to Begin

Any minute now, my ship is coming in I'll keep checking the horizon And I'll stand on the bow, and 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 in Don't you understand Oh, 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
