|
The waves crash in and the tide 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 |
|
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 |
|
But when the sky begins to clear and the sun it melts away my fear |
|
I'll cry a silent weary tear for those that need to love me |
|
|
|
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 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 |
