Tour Scotland Video Ready For The Storm Dougie MacLean Visit Scotland Information Office Perth Perthshire

Tour Scotland video of the brilliant Dougie MacLean singing Ready For The Storm outside the Visit Scotland information office in the city centre on visit to Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. Dougie MacLean, OBE is a Scottish wonderful singer songwriter, composer, multi-instrumentalist and record producer. One of Scotland's premier singer songwriters, and a man I consider to be a good friend.

The waves crash in and the tide tide pulls out
It's an angry sea but there is no doubt
That the lighthouse will keep shining out
To warn the lonely sailor
And the lightning strikes and the wind cuts cold
Through the sailor's bones to the sailor's soul
Till there's nothing left that he can hold
Except the rolling ocean

CHORUS
But I am ready for the storm, yes sir ready
I am ready for the storm, I'm ready for the storm

Oh give me mercy for my dreams
Cause every confrontation
Seems to tell me what it really means
To be this lonely sailor
But when the sky begins to clear
And the sun it melts away my fear
I'll cry a silent weary tear
For those that need to love me

CHORUS

Distance it is no real friend
And time will take its time
And you will find that in the end
It brings you me, the lonely sailor
And when you take me by your side
You love me warm, you love me
And I should have realized
I had no reason to be frightened

CHORUS
