Ready for the Storm Lyrics

The waves crash in, the tide pulls out
It's an angry sea, but there is no doubt
That the lighthouse will keep shining out
To warn a lonely sailor
The lightening 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

And I am ready for the storm
Yes...oh...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 truly means
To be a lonely sailor
But when the sky begins to clear
The sun it melts away my fear
I will cry a silent weary tear
For those who need to love me

And I am ready for the storm
Yes...oh...ready...
I am ready for the storm
I'm ready for the storm
But 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

When you take me by your side
And love me warm and love me
And I should have realized
I have no reason to be frightened

And I am ready for the storm
Yes...oh...ready...
I am ready for the storm
I'm ready for the storm
