This is just the audio.

Here's the lyrics (feel free to sing along):

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, 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

  • Because of Colin I love AUSTRALIA (even I've never been there).

    Because of him I love SCOTTISH PEOPLE (even I have never met any of them).

    Because of him I love MEN AT WORK (even I was born in 1988).

    Because of him I love SCRUBS (not vice versa!!!).

    Because of him I think STRABISM is cool!

  • I hate how the top two comments contradict each other

  • @MrJonodrew So, shows that are violent and generally police based are the best then? Nobody is allowed to have opinions about what they, themselves, like? Maybe you'll look back on that comment and laugh one day about the fact that you shut someone down for saying that they're favorite show isn't an action cop drama.

  • This vid is a favorite on Algeria

  • 3! *

  • Scrubs 3
