Batten down the hatches love, the night is rolling in The clouds are getting darker and you’re scared of what they’ll bring And you are searching the horizon for some sign, some little spark Of morning that will chase away the dark Heavy was the winter, love, and what became of spring? This demon came and got its claws in every little thing Now there are miles and glass and distance that are keeping me apart From the beating of your strong and steady heart Chorus: There’s a storm here to weather, the thunder’s coming near Louder than ever and we don’t know where to steer And though we can’t be together, no matter what my dear I will love you forever and we will dance again next year (x2) This world is unfamiliar now, it’s turned us all around A sailboat in a hurricane and nothing’s bolted down And whichever way you turn there is no sanctuary in sight No path to some safe harbour in the night But I am sailing right beside you, I am just out of arm’s length Willing you remember you are wrought of iron strength And I am hanging my tomorrows on the bones of yesterday All I can do to make it through today
