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 roaring ocean
And 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 (will) 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 me the 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)
