Lyrics of Waiting for My Real Life to Begin (radio edit) by Colin Hay

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
Writer(s): Colin James Hay, Thomas Mooney
