I walked all day along the shore
I was made for loving you
I drown my pain in alcohol
How could you feel the same way too?
My feet will not walk anymore
So I guess you ought to know the truth
I wonder what I am made for
If I'm not meant to be with you
I wish you were here on the shore
That we could build up something new
I wonder why I am so sure
Nothing's stronger than me and you
Now I'm leaning on the stage door
As I'm writing these words for you
You don't remember anymore
The kisses that I stole from you
I spend my days without you now
And the sky doesn't look that blue
Because every day I love you more
How could you feel the same way too?
My life is full of wine and gold
But it's not worth it without you
Just like my bed my heart is cold
Now you know I've always loved you
I was made for loving you
I drown my pain in alcohol
How could you feel the same way too?
So I guess you ought to know the truth
I wonder what I am made for
If I'm not meant to be with you
That we could build up something new
I wonder why I am so sure
Nothing's stronger than me and you
As I'm writing these words for you
You don't remember anymore
The kisses that I stole from you
And the sky doesn't look that blue
Because every day I love you more
How could you feel the same way too?
But it's not worth it without you
Just like my bed my heart is cold
Now you know I've always loved you

The main character has been at war across the sea, I also get the impression he might even be a pirate or buccaneer, or other naval soldier. He has won battles and made money, but all of those wins are meaningless to him, because he longs for the love he left behind. He wonders if she is thinking of him, and at the same time, as we later learn, she wonders the same thing about him.
