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 shinin' out
To warn the lonely sailor
The lightnin' 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
3x
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
