Ready For The Storm

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
 And the lightning strikes and the wind cuts cold
 Through the sailor's bones, to the sailor's soul
 'Til there's nothing left that he can hold
 Except the rolling ocean
 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
 The sun; it melts away my fear
 I'll cry a silent, weary tear
 For those that need to love me
 But, I am ready for the storm
 Yes sir, ready
 I am ready for the storm, I'm ready for the storm
 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 realised
 I had no reasons to be frightened
 And I am ready for the storm
 Yes sir, ready
 I am ready for the storm
 Yes sir, ready
 I am ready for the storm
 Yes sir, ready
 I am ready for the storm
 I'm ready for the storm
