Story Behind The Song
A man in pursuit of an unreachable woman - likened to Odysseus on his journey back home. The uptempo instrumental parts represent the Sirens.
Unrequited love - and a woman who loves the chase, but can't return the feelings.

Lyrics
He is a sailor man, she is the sea
Try as hard as he can, he can't let her be cause
She is a wide expanse, so wild and free
He'll chase her for eternity
She gives him her regard, waves her head high
She reaches out to him then past him to the sky,
see She likes the chase of him, but she can't meet his eye
She turns around and waves goodbye
Ring around the rosie
You got a pocket full of posies
but you still fall down
Ashes to ashes
Chase her in circles, and you chase her in circles and chase her in circles
But you still hit the ground
He thinks he'd die for her but really it's a dream He's in denial of her - and nothing's what it seems but No matter what the price, he'd rather pay the fee
He'll chase her for eternity
Ring around the rosie
You got a pocket full of posies
but you still fall down
Ashes to ashes
Chase her in circles, and you chase her in circles and chase her in circles
But you still hit the ground
