Lyrics
If your hand should slip from mine
Expresses concern about losing connection or separation.
Then I'm certain given time
Confident that despite separation, a reunion will occur in the future.
You and I will meet again one day
Belief in a future meeting or reunion between the speaker and the person addressed.
Just off the coast
Symbolic reference to a location close to something significant.
I'm not certain where it is
Uncertainty about the specific location being referred to.
But I feel I can say this
A belief in the existence of this unspecified place.
I believe that place exists somewhere
Faith in the existence of a place that holds significance.
Just off the coast
Reiteration of the symbolic place 'just off the coast.'
Just off the coast you'll find me
Assurance that the speaker will be found in this unspecified place.
Just off the coast it may be
Reiteration of the certainty of being found 'just off the coast.'
Grey but the sunlight still gets through
Describing the atmosphere or environment of this place as 'grey' but still allowing sunlight.
When the windows open wide
Imagery of openness and expansiveness, comparing to open windows.
And the curtain's like the tide
Metaphorical comparison between the curtains and the tides.
Then I am sure we'll all end up out there
Belief that everyone will eventually reach this place of significance.
Just off the coast
Reiteration of the symbolic place 'just off the coast.'
When they come to gather us
Anticipation of a gathering or union.
Then we're going to have to trust
The necessity of having faith or belief in a destined place.
There's a special place for us out there
Confidence in a unique place designated for those involved.
Just off the coast
Reiteration of the symbolic place 'just off the coast.'
