Just Seemed to Fit Today

This one seems to work for so many of my friends right now…
And me actually.

It is the lyrics from a great songwriter… his name is Colin Hay. I bet you know him.

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


He was the lead singer for Men at Work in the 80’s.

If you have a way to download this song… it is a beautiful acoustic version and speaks so much louder than the lyrics.

Just for the record... I'm not always funny...
sorry Lunchbox.

Your ship has come in time and time again. You just refuse to climb aboard. Stop sitting at the tiki bar watching the horizon and grab the champagne so you can christen the ship. NANCY!!

guess I'm afraid I'll board the wrong ship?
Prolly end up on the Greek freighter... and you know where that will bite me....
well... not so much BITE me, as... well... YOU know.
