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
