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, through 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
