Lyrics -

Ready for the Storm
(Dougie MacLean)

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 claps cold
Through the sailor's bones to the sailor's soul
'til there's nothing left that he can hold
Except the rolling ocean

CHORUS
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
For every confrontation seems
To tell me what it really means
To be this lonely sailor

And 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 love me

CHORUS 

But distance it is no real friend
And time will take its time
And you will find that in the end
It brings you me, 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

CHORUS
CHORUS

Paddy's Green Shamrock Shores
(Traditional)

From Derry quay we sailed away
On the twenty-third of May
We were taken onboard by a pleasant crew
Bound for America

CHORUS
So fare thee well, my own true love
I'll think of you night and day
A place in my mind you will surely find
Although I am so far away
And when I'm alone, far away from home
I'll think of the good times once more
Until I can make it back someday
To paddy's green shamrock shores

CHORUS
