A quay wall, counting the numbers on the draft marks, cargos and coasters (barges), pilot lights, foghorns, etc are all things that have to do with ships.
So I always thought this song was about a couple who used to go down to the waterfront and make-out along the docks. Then the guy had to leave on a ship so the girl was left behind with only the memories of what they used to do. It makes sense to me, but maybe I just think this because I’m in the Navy and have had to leave too many times over the years.
In any case I have enjoyed this song for almost 30 years now.
