Oh, 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
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 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
And when you take me by your side You love me warm, you love me And I should have realized I had no reasons to be frightened
But I am ready for the storm Yes sir, ready I am ready for the storm I'm ready for the storm
The 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 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 Yes sir, ready I am ready for the storm Yes sir, ready I am ready for the storm I'm ready for the storm
