Billy Joel - Storm Front lyrics
[Billy Joel - Storm Front lyrics]
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 gale
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
