I'm just a lonely man who makes his living from the sea
Once again I'm washed up on your doorstep
By a storm following me
I'm a seasick sailor - far from home
Wherever I go - don't stay too long
Now I need your love to call my own
This storm is more than I can face alone

So baby won't you give me safe harbor
I'm hoping you will open up your door
I'm begging let me in
Till the sun comes out again
And the clouds have rolled away from the shore

I've sailed all around the world - can't remember all the places I've been
Always treat the sea like a lady - now she's trying to do me in
I'm battered, broken - black and blue
You'll never know the pain that I go through
Never know where it is I'm going to
My footsteps always lead me back to you

So baby won't you give me safe harbor
I'm hoping you will open up your door
I'm begging let me in
Till the sun comes out again
And the clouds have rolled away from the shore

Let me in, don't let it find me
Let me in, baby please hide me
There's a storm raging inside me
Like the one that's pounding on your walls
Let me in, don't let it find me
Let me in, baby please hide me
There's a storm raging inside me
Like the one that's pounding on your walls

I gambled and lost it - placed it all on a rolling of the dice
Don't know how I can repay you
Guess my gratitude will have to suffice
Spent my life burning every bridge I crossed
Seen so many tall ships get tossed
Sometimes I wonder if it's worth the cost
If you don't save me, baby I'll be lost

So baby won't you give me safe harbor
I'm hoping you will open up your door
I'm begging let me in
Till the sun comes out again
And the clouds have rolled away
I'm begging let me in
Till the sun comes out again
And the clouds have rolled away
The clouds have rolled away
Till the clouds have rolled away from the shore
