Lyrics
Oh let me sail away
Expresses a desire to escape or embark on a journey.
On the beach and on the earth
Wishing for freedom both on land and at sea.
The boats on the sea are blissfully free
The boats at sea are safe and untroubled, symbolizing peace.
They will come to no harm
Reassurance that no harm will come to the boats.
'Cause the waves are so calm
Highlighting the calmness of the waves, reinforcing safety.
Oh let me think a while
Reflecting on memories and contemplating.
To the playground of your smile
A nostalgic reference to joyful moments.
The wind through the flame
The wind carries echoes or reminders of a person.
Whistles your name
The wind audibly speaks the name of a departed individual.
Though you said goodbye
Acknowledgment of a goodbye, but the person remains in thoughts.
You did not leave my mind
Despite the departure, the person stays mentally present.
Oh I've got to get away
An urgent desire to escape the current location.
From this town don't want to face
Avoiding confronting a threatening or foreboding situation symbolized by ominous clouds.
The ominous clouds
The impending threat or sense of danger represented by the ominous clouds.
But not now
Delaying action or avoidance of facing the situation.
I've got to find a place
Searching for a place of comfort and self-discovery.
Be myself and learn to face
Acknowledging the need to confront the ominous situation.
The ominous clouds
Recognizing the presence of the threatening clouds.
But not now
Continuing delay in facing the looming threat.
I want to sail away
Reiterating the desire to escape and sail away.
Want to look back on the day
Wishing to leave behind the current circumstances.
And hide with my hand
Concealing the view of what's left behind.
What's left of the land
Protecting or hiding remnants of the familiar land.
Though I leave it behind
Although leaving, memories of the land persist.
It will not leave my mind
The place remains in memory despite physical departure.
Oh I've got to get away
Reiterated urgency to escape the current location.
From this town don't want to face
Reluctance to confront the threatening situation.
The ominous clouds
Reiteration of the ominous nature of the impending danger.
Oh not now
Further delay or hesitation to confront the situation.
I've got to find a place
Seeking a place of comfort for self-reflection and growth.
Be myself and learn to face
Recognizing the need to confront the ominous situation.
The ominous clouds
Acknowledging the presence of the threatening clouds.
But not now
Continued delay or avoidance in facing the looming threat.
