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 


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

ON A CLEAR DAY ; I CAN SEE , SEE A VERY LONG WAY

AND LYRICS , O H , O H , LYRICS HAVE THIS WAY OF INSPIRING ME OR CONVICTING ME LIKE ALMOST NOTHING ELSE . AND SO . SO TRULY DOES THIS SONG SPEAK TO ME @ THIS SWEET LITTLE POINT IN LIFE . I THINK I COULD HEAR THE WORDS " BE STILL , MY LOVE " EVERYDAY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE + STILL NEED TO HEAR IT . AND TO EVEN START ON THE " PLAN " I THINK THAT I HAVE FOR MY REAL LIFE . . . HOW SILLY . THIS IS IT + HOW MANY DAYS DO I AIMLESSLY DREAM OF WHAT I'LL DO WHEN I GET  H E R E  OR T H E R E  OR TO MY R E A L  L I F E , WHEN ALL THE WHILE , I'M WISHING N O W AWAY . H M M .
