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

It's a beautiful song. I relate it to myself. His not dying! He believe he expected somthing else from life but he always has tommorow for "his real life to begin"

i know colin, this song is about leaving scotland , and coming to australia,if you would have sen whre he was brought up you too would have been looking for a new/real life. it was the pits. the kids in the street would bite the postman, many a time colin would get into fights just for looking at someone, thus the song."ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME' so thats what this somg is about leaving his home town which to this day is thie pits. good luck in the future colin your friend and former mentor . paul

Actually they do indicate who says they have a plan, it's the singer in reply to someone's comment about the light shining in.

I think it's about death. It seems like he's facing his own mortality, and the "real life" is death. "I awoke today and suddenly nothing happened"

It's about unrequited love. He sees the life he's supposed to have and who he's supposed to have it with, but it's always just out of reach. Even though he keeps retreading the same paths, the same thoughts, the same pursuit, the prize just can't be won. But he doesn't give up, he can't lose hope, he's always hoping to "throw one more dice" and "check my machine, there's sure to be that call"

I think this song is about the writer failing to listen about his purpose. "And you say be still my love, open up your heart and let the Light shine in. Don't you understand I already have a plan." The lyrics do not indicate who says I already have a plan. For The Plan to be accomplished the writer needed to listen. He needs to let the Light shine in. He can continue be distracted by checking the horizon or checking his machine, but he lacks proper focus.

This tune was near the end of the first episode of The Cleaner (Benjamin Bratt). Man what an amazing song.Killer killer stuff.
