Waiting for my real life to begin – Colin Hay

Waiting for my real life to begin

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, and 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”
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 for a long way

 Nem sempre a vida tem o caminho que gostaríamos… importa saber se vale a pena esperar.
Sinta cada palavra deste tema aqui…
