[Verse 1]
Safe at harbor
Everything is easy
Off to starboard
Daylight comes up fast
I am restless
For the open water
Red flags are flying
From the Coast Guard mast

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
I've been sailing
Long time on this ocean
Man gets lonesome
All those years at sea
I've got a woman (ha)
My life should be easy
Most men hunger
For the life I lead
[Pre-Chorus]
The morning was gray
But I had the motivation
I motored away
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 restless
For the big blue water
Though she gives me
Just about everything I need

[Pre-Chorus]
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]
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

[Instrumental Break]

(Come on) Yeah, there's a storm front coming (mood indigo)
