| 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 |
