Storm Front

Lyrics

Safe at harbor, everything is easy
 Off to starboard, daylight comes up fast
 Now I'm restless for the open water
 Red flags are flying from the Coast Guard mast
 They told me to stay, I heard all the information
 I motored away and steered straight ahead
 Though the weatherman said
 There's a storm front coming (mood indigo)
 White water running and the pressure is low
 Storm front coming (mood indigo)
 Small craft warning on the radio
 I've been sailing a long time on this ocean
 Man gets lonesome, all those years at sea
 I've got a woman, my life should be easy
 Most men hunger for the life I lead
 The morning was gray, but I had the motivation
 I drifted away and ran into more
 Heavy weather off shore
 There's a storm front coming (mood indigo)
 White water running and the pressure is low
 Storm front coming (mood indigo)
 Small craft warning on the radio
 We've got a low pressure system and a northeast breeze
 We've got a falling barometer and rising seas
 We've got the cumulonimbus and possible gail
 We've got a force nine blowing on the Beaufort scale
 I'm still restless for the open water
 Though she gives me everything I need
 She asked me to stay, but I'd done my navigation
 I drove her away, but I should have known
 To stay tied up at home
 There's a storm front coming (mood indigo)
 White water running and the pressure is low
 Storm front coming (mood indigo)
 Small craft warning on the radio
