Oh, the waves crash in and the tide rolls out
It's an angry sea but there is no doubt
That the lighthouse will keep shinin' out
To warn this lonely sailor
The lightnin' strikes and the wind blows 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 stormv Yes Lord, ready
I am 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
And when you take me by the hand
You love me Lord, you love me
And I should have realizedv I had no reasons to be frightened
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, this lonely sailor
And when the sky begins to clear
The sun it melts away my fear
And I'll shed a silent weary tear
For those who mean to love me.
