Good Tunes

Any minute now my ship is coming in.
I 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 say "be still my love,
open up your heart
let that light shine in."
Don't you understand
I already have a plan--
I'm waiting for my real life to begin.

I woke today -- suddenly nothing happened.
But in my dreams, I slew the dragon.
And down this beaten path, up this cobbled lane,
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 going to 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 that light shine in."
Don't you understand? Oh 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...
