Story Behind The Song

My girlfriend was leaving to study in France for a year, and this was my way of saying that I'd miss her.

Song Description

A love song

Lyrics

I want to ride the sea that's keeping you from me
and I don't fear the weather or the waves
I want to kiss your shores and throw away my oars
on the solid ground of you is where I'll stay
I want to take a trip on a sailing ship
and I don't care how long I have to sail
and if it takes all year I'll stand fast and I will steer
if you're my destination how can I fail

across the sea is where I'll be
there's nothing I can't sail around
across the sea my voice will sound
I'm nearly there wait for me

I think that I could fly if I let my body die
but I don't know for sure if that is true
but I'm tempted at the notion to give in to this ocean
if it would bring me soul to soul with you
cause the days are growing short
and the nights are much too long
and heavy waves are crashing all around
but it'll make me stronger to sail a little longer
then return to you my solid ground

chorus

hey now, just saw the northern lights
but next to you, you know they don't seem very bright
so climb the highest hill and shine your light for me
and I will come for you across the sea
