Waiting For My Real Life To Begin Lyrics - Man At Work - 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 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 

meaning 

 byLEEE 

I can't wait for the documentary! See all 

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, 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 heyeyeyeyey 

Hey yeeeeeee 

Hey heyeyeyeyey 

Eeh eeh eeh eeh eh x5 

On a clear day 

I can see, see for a long way 

On a clear day 

I can see, see a very long way
