lyrics

Standing on the pier watching as the ships pass near to the shore
Wishing you were here to live another year and guide me through the storm
Red skies this morning, black clouds on horizon
The captain's warning, "the sky might open up"

Isn't she beautiful on a lifeboat sailing away

It was a north wind when the clouds came tumbling in shooting lightning bolts across the sky
Unlike anything I've seen throughout all my years at sea, shaking her from side to side
Red skies this morning, black clouds on horizon
The captain's warning, "the sky might open up"

Waves are crashing around, so strong they'll knock you out
We can't stay here, now we've got to take cover under
Only god can save us now
Rain is coming down, a thousand pounds, a thousand pounds
Lightning hits the bow, this ship is going down, going down

Let your presence shine like we did before
Like a lighthouse beacon on the ocean floor
Can you play captain and sail us home?
On a lifeboat battered and worn
The clouds have parted, blue sky on horizon
The healing started, things are looking up
