Ready for the Storm
Dougie MacLean

The waves crash in the tide pulls out
It's an angry sea but there is no doubt
That the lighthouse will keep shining out
To warn a lonely sailor
The lightning strikes
And the wind cuts cold
Through the sailor's bones
To the sailor's soul
'Til there's nothing left that he can hold
Except the rolling ocean
And I am ready for the storm
Yes oh 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 mewhat it really means
To be this lonely sailor
If when the sky begins to clear
The sun it melts away my fear
I will cry a silent weary tear
For those who need to love me
But I am ready for the storm
Yes oh ready I am ready for the storm
I'm ready for the storm

And 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 and love me
And I should have realized
I have no reasons to be frightened
And I am ready for the storm
Yes oh ready I am ready for the storm
Yes oh ready I am ready for the storm
Yes oh ready I am ready for the storm
I'm ready for the storm
