Ready For The Storm
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
The distance it is no real friend
And time will take the 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
