Lyrics
Thunder crashes, lightning flashes off the waves
Your letter?s written, my eyes strain through the haze
The night grows colder; it?s plain in black and white
I throw it to the darkness, to fuel this bitter night
The night is over; a red glow fills the sky
It?s a sailors warning, the wind and the ropes they cry
