song of the moment - waiting for my real life to begin

song of the moment
waiting for my real life to begin
colin hay

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

don't you understand

i already have a plan

i'm waiting for my real life to begin

when i woke 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

i already have a plan

i'm waiting for my real life to begin

on a clear day

i can see

see a very long way

on a clear day

i can see…

see a very long way

My robe smells like turpentine.  What the fuck is that about?
