Colin Hay - Waiting For My Real Life To Begin lyrics

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 said,"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

And up this cobbled lane

I'm walking in my own footsteps once again

And you say,"Just be here now

Forget about the past

Your mask is wearing thin"

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, 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

Don't you understand?

It's my very own plan

I'm waiting for my real life to begin
