It's an angry sea but there is no doubt That the lighthouse will keep shining out To warn the lonely sailor. 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. But I am ready for the storm, Yes, sir, ready. I am ready for the storm, I'm ready for the storm.

And when the sky begins to clear, The sun, it melts away my fear. I'll cry a silent, weary tear For those that need to love me. Chorus (instrumental lead played over these chords) 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, the 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 reason to be frightened. But I am ready for the storm, Yes, sir, ready. I am ready for the storm, Yes, sir, ready. I am ready for the storm, Yes, sir, ready. I am ready for the storm, ready for the storm.
