Lyrics
Water and sand and the rising beyond my view
Reflecting on the elements around - water, sand, and the vastness beyond perception.
Alone I stand here inside and it's calling you
Feeling isolated while being surrounded, drawn to something beyond.
There is a reason to be here and cry
Suggesting a purpose for being in this place, possibly to confront emotions.
I know the ocean will understand why
Believing in the empathetic understanding of the ocean for one's emotions.
Feeling the way I do
Expressing emotional turmoil.
Tasting the salt and the wind cries your name again
Associating the taste of salt with longing for someone, perhaps lost.
Sharpened so cold makes me feel I've lost a friend
Feeling the emotional chill, likening it to the loss of a friend.
There is a reason that I'll never know
Acceptance of an inexplicable reason for departure.
I couldn't follow why you had to go
Unable to comprehend the cause behind the departure.
And I can't comprehend
Expressing an inability to understand.
The wind blows away my fears
Symbolizing the wind as a carrier of fears.
The ocean will drown all my tears
Belief that the vastness of the ocean can absorb and alleviate emotional pain.
'Cause I've got to survive though I need your loving here
Recognizing the need to survive despite the longing for lost love.
Seagull, take my love wherever you may fly
Requesting a seagull to carry love to an unknown destination.
Seagull, bury all my feelings for her
Asking the seagull to bury intense emotions associated with the person.
To a place somewhere in the sky
Imagining a place in the sky as a repository for buried feelings.
There is a reason that I'll never know
Reiteration of the inexplicable reason behind departure.
I couldn't follow why you had to go
Continued inability to comprehend the departure.
And I can't comprehend
Expressing an inability to understand.
The wind blows away my fears
Depicting the wind as dispelling fears.
The ocean will drown all my tears
Belief in the ocean's ability to cleanse emotional distress.
'Cause I've got to survive though I need your loving here
Struggling to survive despite the longing for the lost love.
Seagull, take my love wherever you may fly
Repeating the request for a seagull to carry love elsewhere.
Seagull, bury all my feelings for her
Reiterating the desire to bury emotions associated with the person.
To a place somewhere in the sky
Imagining a destination in the sky for these buried emotions.
Oh, seagull, take my love wherever you may fly
Repetition of the plea to the seagull to carry love away.
Seagull, bury all my feelings for her
Repeating the wish to bury intense feelings for the person.
To a place somewhere in the sky
Imagining a place in the sky as a repository for these buried feelings.
