The Wind Is Low Lyrics

You, strong as a virgin birth
Me, keeping your every word
Two dots where a single was
Three, counting the little one

We sail in the smallest boat
Sleep just when the wind is low

You see from the sparrow's height
Me, seeking you every night
Two, sailing towards the sun
Three, counting the little one

Correct lyric :

You, strong as a virgin birth Me, keeping your every word Two dots where a single was Three, counting the little one

We sail in the smallest boat Sleep just when the wind is low

You see from the sparrow's height Me, seeking you every night Two, sailing towards the sun Three, counting the little one

I'm fairly sure this is about a car crash (or boat crash?).... the narrator, might have been the driver. He's speaking to jesus specifically... I'm not sure he's asking for forgiveness for the past in his life well as for his wife and child.

The last few lines indicate they've died, and they're going to God. Supposedly.
