Billy Joel - Storm Front lyrics

Off to starboard, daylight comes up fast

Now I'm restless for the open water

Red flags are flying fromhe Coast Guard mast

They told me to stay, I heard all the information

I motored away 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

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

CHORUS

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

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

CHORUS
