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 roaring ocean

But I am ready for the storm

Yes, already I am ready for the storm

I'm ready for the storm

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

At those that need to love me

And I am ready for the storm

Yes, already 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 near a lonely sailor

But 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

And I am ready for the storm

Yes, already I am ready for the storm

I'm ready for the storm

I'm ready for the storm

Yes, already I am ready for the storm

I'm ready for the storm
