Cover art for On the Sea lyrics by Vertical Horizon

Yea it really is a beautiful song. Both versions are good but the one from Live Stages really grabs you.

Can't say they're lyrics I can relate to. My take on it is the guy is walking on the beach remembering a deceased spouse or bf/gf. You could really stretch it as someone long lost and far away as opposed to deceased.
