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 roaring ocean
I am ready for the storm Yes, all ready I am ready for the storm I'm ready for the storm
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 And the sun, it melts away my fear I'll cry a silent, weary tear At those that need to love me
I am ready for the storm Yes, all 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 near a lonely sailor But when you take me by your side You love me warm, you love me And I should have realized I had no reason to be frightened
I am ready for the storm Yes, all ready I am ready for the storm I'm ready for the storm
