storm front

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

white water running and the pressure is low

storm front coming

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

white water running and the pressure is low

storm front coming

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 beaufort 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

white water running and the pressure is low

storm front coming

small craft warning on the radio
