Safe at harbor, everything is easy
|
Off to starboard, daylight comes up fast
|
Now I'm restless for the open water
|
Red flags are flying from the Coast Guard mast
|
|
They told me to stay, I heard all the information
|
I motored away and steered straight ahead
|
Though the weatherman said
|
|
There's a storm front coming (mood indigo)
|
White water running and the pressure is low
|
Storm front coming (mood indigo)
|
Small craft warning on the radio
|
|
I've been sailing a long time on this ocean
|
Man gets lonesome, all those years at sea
|
I've got a woman, my life should be easy
|
Most men hunger for the life I lead
|
|
The morning was grey, but I had the motivation
|
I drifted away and ran into more
|
Heavy weather off shore
|
|
There's a storm front coming (mood indigo)
|
White water running and the pressure is low
|
Storm front coming (mood indigo)
|
Small craft warning on the radio
|
|
We've got a low pressure system and a northeast breeze
|
We've got a falling barometer and rising seas
|
We've got the cumulonimbus and a possible gale
|
We've got a force nine blowing on the Beaufont scale
|
|
I'm still restless for the open water
|
Though she gives me everything I need
|
She asked me to stay, but I'd done my navigation
|
I drove her away, but I should have known
|
To stay tied up at home
|
|
There's a storm front coming (mood indigo)
|
White water running and the pressure is low
|
Storm front coming (mood indigo)
|
Small craft warning on the radio
|
