Ready for the Storm Kathy Mattea

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 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

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

But I am ready for the storm
Yes sir, ready
I am ready for the storm
I'm ready for the storm
