Here I stand alone again
Reachin' out across the room
Quietly the sun's gone down
The sailors seek 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

Ridin' out the storm
Like a ship safe at anchor
Waitin' 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 sailin'
Like you I've felt the storm
Heard the wild waves wailin'

Ridin' out the storm
Like a ship safe at anchor
Waitin' out the long voyage
Round the Cape of Hope will take her

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 turnin' back the sailors
With the ship on course and the sea wind fair
There's no need to fail her

Ridin' out the storm
Like a ship safe at anchor
Waitin' out the long voyage
Round the Cape of Hope will take her

Ridin' out the storm
Like a ship safe at anchor
Waitin' out the long voyage
Round the Cape of Hope will take her
