Seems like I've been out here in stormy seas

'bout as long as I can stand

And it's like you send me another wave

Every time I catch my breath

And I've trimmed my sails and set my course

Again, Lord, and again

Lord, if you could find me a place to land

My ship needs to come in

And there's dark clouds to my left, Lord, and dark clouds to my right

There's thunderin' and there's lightnin'

And I keep sending out my signals of distress

With no one there to see them

And the waves crash up over the bow

And soak me to my skin

Lord, if you could find me a place to land

My ship needs to come in

[organ]

If you could clear the skies, Lord, for just one minute

And I could see the stars

I could find my points and head on out

And try, Lord, just once more

But, Lord, I'm beat up and I'm broken

And my light is getting weak

Lord, if you could find me a place to land

My ship needs to come in

Yes, Lord, if you could find me a place to land

My ship needs to come in

[organ]

My ship needs to come in
