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

 [bad word] 

 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 ove me

 [bad word] 
 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

 [bad word]
