Ready for the Storm lyrics

The waves crash in and the tide 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

And 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

But when the sky begins to clear

And the sun it melts away my fear

I'll cry a silent weary tear

For those that need to love me

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 you take me by your side

You love me warm, you love me

And I should have realized

I had no reason to be frightened
