Ships with Sails Lyrics
Well you asked how much I love you
Why do ships with sails love the wind?
And will I be thinking of you
Will I ever pass this way again
I'll be returning some day
Until then, please don't ask me my direction
Let my tracks be buried in the sea
'Cos to wander is my infection
'Till the four winds bring you back to me
Don't count your memories
Think of me as just a dream
Just like this melody, I see
Why do ships with sails love the wind?
And will I be thinking of you
Will I ever pass this way again
I'll be returning some day
Until then, please don't ask me my direction
Let my tracks be buried in the sea
'Cos to wander is my infection
'Till the four winds bring you back to me
Don't count your memories
Think of me as just a dream
Just like this melody, I see
This song to me is like being in a relationship you really need a break from. You really love the person you are with, but it is either too much right now or maybe the person is too clingy. The song gives examples like "don't ask me my direction' which means almost like let me be alone. Also the line "Well you asked how much I love you, why do ships with sails love the wind?" This line expresses that the love still exists, and like wind in the sails it will always be there.
