about

Written in 1984, and like most songs, It grew on me and took on new meaning, especially now as we experience a period of division and disagreement and loss, but ultimately, it's about Returning to a safe place with love waiting

lyrics

A PORT IN ANY STORM
@1986-2020 RICHARD DAVID SPANO ARR

COMES A TIME
WHEN WE DISAGREE
YOU TURN YOUR BACK AND HEAD FOR OPEN SEA
I TURN MY Face away and cry
Tears you must never see
I want you to know
I’m waiting right here
If the lonely ocean rekindles
Ancient fear
You need to know
I feel it to
But I’ll still wait
On the shore for you

When the rain falls
And your sails are worn
And the pain comes
and your heart is torn
Set your compass, turn for home
I’ll be your port in any storm

Now it seems we’ve run out of time
We stowed our dreams away
And cast off all the lines
I search your face for a sign
You’ll return
I want you to know ill
Be waiting right here
If the lonely night
rekindles ancient fear
You need to know
I’m lonely too
But I’ll still wait
On the shore for you

Cause When the rain falls
And your sails are worn
And the pain comes
and your heart is torn
Set your compass, turn for home
I’ll be your port in any storm

Everybody’s got a dream they’ve
Turned away from
Everybody’s got a hurt they hide
Deep inside
I want you to know my dreams
Go with you, girl
Even though tonight we sleep
Under different skies

Cause When the rain falls
And your sails are worn
And the pain comes
and your heart is torn
Set your compass, turn for home
I’ll be your port in any storm
Come on Home…
