Here I stand alone again,
Reaching out across the room.
Quietly the suns gone down
The sailor seeks the harbor
Look at us sailin' in
Decks awash but still afloat
And now the wind's come up
To rock us on the water
Chorus:
Riding out the storm
Like a ship safe at anchor
Waiting out the long voyage
Round the Cape of Hope will take her
In the calm before the storm
Sunny days and smoother waters
When we hit the seventh wave
We found a line and caught her
Look into my eyes
Let me see where you've been sailing
Like you I've felt the storm
And heard the wild waves wailing
Chorus
Steer clear of the shore
The coast is rough and rocky
It's the deepest channel that runs most true
The brightest stars that mark her
Steady as she goes
There's no turning back the sailors
With the ship on course and the sea wind fair
There's no need to fail her
Chorus
