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
