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 in the night

To warn the lonely sailor

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 roaring ocean

But I am ready for the storm, yes oh ready I'm

I'm ready for the storm, I'm ready for the storm

Give me mercy for my dreams, 'cause every confrontaion

Seems to tell me what it really means to be a lonely sailor

But when the sky begins to clear and the sun it melts away my fear

I cry a silent, weary tear at those that mean to love me

And I am ready for the storm, yes oh ready I'm

I'm 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've realized I had no reason to be frightened

And I am ready for the storm, yes oh ready I'm

I'm ready for the storm, I'm ready for the storm (x2)
