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,
G
Except the rolling ocean,

ready for the storm.

Oh, give me mercy for my dreams,
G
'Cause every confrontation seems
F
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 reason to be frightened.

Am
The distance, it is no real friend,
G
And time will take its time,
F
And you will find that in the end,

It brings you me, the lonely sailor,

And when the sky begins to clear,
G
The sun, it melts away my fear.
F
I'll cry a silent, weary tear
G
For those that need to love me.
