Verse
Far out at sea, a hundred miles from shore
A storm begins to rise and the tide's turning
Driving wind and rain, to try my skills once more
Testing yet again, all my craft and learning

Chorus
All my love to calmer seas, I will steer you
And you'll be safe, when I am near you

The rain beats on the roofs, as the Sun is setting
