The Waterboys

The Waterboys are a band formed in 1983 by Mike Scott. The band's membership, past and present, has been composed mainly of musicians from Scotland, Ireland and England. Edinburgh, London, Dublin, Spiddal, New York, and Findhorn have all served as homes for the group. The band has played in a number of different styles, but their music is a mix of Celtic folk music with rock and roll.

I'm preparing to fly
 under my own steam
I'm preparing to fly
 into a dream

I'm in love all over again
 I'm head over heels
I can't even begin
 to tell you how it feels
She lives on a rock
 surrounded by light
She's young and she's wild
 and she's treating me right

I'm preparing to fly
 under my own steam
I'm preparing to fly
 into a dream

I shed some light
 I change my address
I haven't felt so great
 since I first went west
I've got brilliant intentions
 unthinkable plans
I've got sparks and electric shocks
 just exploding from my hands

I'm preparing to fly
 under my own steam
I'm preparing to fly
 into a dream

I'm back in the saddle
 I'm out in the clear
I got no regrets
 I've got nothing to fear
I've battled my demons
 come out on top
I'm gonna love you as hard as I can
 never gonna stop

I'm preparing to fly
 under my own steam
I'm preparing to fly
 into a dream
