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 gray, 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 possible gail
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 (mood indigo)
White water running and the pressure is low
Storm front coming (mood indigo)
Small craft warning on the radio
