Lyrics
I broke a thousand wishes
I've experienced disappointment or unfulfilled desires numerous times.
And I played with many fires
I've engaged in risky or daring activities.
But you were there to hold me
You provided support when I needed it, especially during difficult times.
When the embers left
When the passion or intensity faded away.
Shivering shuddering
Expressing intense feelings of cold or fear.
With a smile that lost their way
You had a smile, but it seemed lost or faded.
You were form and function
You were both aesthetically pleasing and practical in your role.
And I was never Poldark
A reference to not being like the character Poldark, possibly contrasting characteristics.
That first time we took Edie
The first occasion we brought someone named Edie for a run by the bay.
For a run upon the bay
Pursuing seagulls and enjoying the ocean spray during that run.
Chasing all the seagulls
A playful activity, possibly symbolizing carefree moments.
And nipping at the spray
Engaging in the excitement and thrill of the moment.
We always loved a tempest
We consistently enjoyed storms or challenges from a safe distance.
From a distance that was safe
Reflecting on past experiences of having a six-pack (possibly beer) during those times.
And I had a six pack
You were delicate or slender during that period.
And you were just a waif
Scattering ashes upon Trebarwith Strand
Dispersing remains on Trebarwith Strand, possibly signifying a connection to a place of significance.
When the gulls are reeling
Observing seagulls while they are in motion.
As you write love in the sand
Writing expressions of love in the sand during that moment.
Take out my old notebook
Referring to revisiting memories in an old notebook.
With the pages curled to you
Pages with memories related to you are prominently featured.
And sprinkle my ashes knowing
Symbolically releasing one's essence, expressing deep affection.
How much I loved you
A declaration of profound love for you.
