Waiting for Real Life to Begin

Any minute now, my ship is coming in

I'll keep checking the horizon

I'll stand on the bow, and feel the waves come crashing

Come crashin' 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 awoke today

Suddenly, nothing happened

But, in my dreams, I slew the dragon

And down this beaten path

Up this cobbled lane

I'm walkin' 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

Hey, hey-he-yeah

Hey, he, he, he, he, he-yeah

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

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