Ready For The Storm (MacLean Dougie)

O the waves crash in and the 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 Chorus: But I am ready for the storm, yes sir ready I am ready for the storm, I'm ready for the storm Give me mercy for my dreams For 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 Chorus But distance it is no real friend And time it takes its time But 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 reasons to be frightened Chorus
