[Verse]                        
Oh, the Amwaves crash in and the tide pulls out,
It's an Gangry sea but there is no doubt,
That the Flighthouse will keep shinin' out,
To Gwarn the lonely sailor,
The Amlightnin' strikes and the wind cuts cold,
Through the Gsailor's bones to the sailor's soul,
Till there's Fnothing left that he can hold,
ExGcept the rolling ocean,
[Chorus]
But AmI am Fready for the Emstorm,
GYes Sir, ready, AmI am Fready for the Emstorm,
I'm Gready for the Amstorm,
[Verse 2]
Oh, Amgive me mercy for my dreams,
'Cause Gevery confrontation seems,
To Ftell me what it really means,
To Gbe this lonely sailor,
And Amwhen you take me by your side,
You Glove me warm, you love me,
And I   Fshould have realized,
I had no Greasons to be frightened,

The Amdistance it is no real friend,
And Gtime will take its time,
And you will Ffind that in the end,
It brings you Gme, the lonely sailor,
And Amwhen the sky begins to clear,
The Gsun it melts away my fear,
I'll   Fcry a silent weary tear,
For Gthose that need to love me,
[Chorus]

[Verse]

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,

[Chorus]

Am F Em

But I am ready for the storm,

G Am F Em

Yes Sir, ready, I am ready for the storm,

G Am

[Verse 2]

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,

[Chorus]

The distance it is no real friend,

And time will take its time,

I'll cry a silent weary tear,

For those that need to love me,
