____Verse: 1
Safe____at____harbor, everything is easy
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 st____ay, I heard all the information
I motored aw____ay and steered straight ahead
Though the weatherman said
____Chorus:
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
____Verse: 2
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 gr____ay, but I had the motivation
I drifted aw____ay and ran into more
heavy weather off shore
____Chorus:
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
____Bridge:
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 a possible gale
We've got a force nine blowing on the Beaufort scale
____Verse: 3
I'm____still rest____less for the open water
Though____she______gives me everything I need
She asked me to st____ay, but I'd done my navigation
I drove her aw____ay, but I should have known
To stay tied up at home
____Chorus:
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
+11
____Chorus: (twice/ A9 throughout)
(Storm front coming) There's a storm front coming, babe
(mood indigo)
(White water running) 1st. time: White water running
2nd. time: Get into white water running, yeah!
(Storm front coming)
Oh, there's a storm front coming, babe
(mood indigo)
(White water running, running)
