Lyrics Kathy Mattea

Kathy Mattea

Ready for the Storm

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 shinin` out

To warn the lonely sailor

The lightnin` 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

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 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.

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

I`m ready for the storm
