Ready for the Storm

Oh, the waves crash in and the tide pulls out

 

It's an angry sea but there is no doubt

 

That the lighthouse will keep shining out to warn the lonely sailor

 

The lightning strikes and the wind cuts cold

 

Through the sailor's bones to the sailor's soul

 

Till there's nothing left that he can hold, except the rolling ocean

 

Chorus:

But I am ready for the storm. Yes Sir, ready

 

I am ready for the storm I'm ready for the storm

 

 

Oh, give me mercy for my dreams. 'Cause every confrontation seems

To tell me what it really means to be this lonely sailor

And when you take me by your side, you love me warm, you love me

And I should have realized I had no reasons to be frightened {Chorus)

 

 

The distance it is no real friend. And time will take its time

And you will find that in the end it brings you me, the lonely sailor

And when the sky begins to clear, the sun it melts away my fear

I'll cry a silent weary tear for those that need to love me. (Chorus Twice)
