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
