The waves crash in and the tide pulls out
It's an angry sea but there is no doubt
That the lighthouse will keep shine the night
To warn the lonely sailor
And the lightning strikes and 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 already
I am ready for the storm. I'm ready for the storm
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
At those that need to love me
And I am ready for the storm, yes already
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
But 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
And I am ready for the storm, yes already
I am ready for the storm. I’m ready for the storm
