In this story, the man sees a ghost ship flying. In his dream or while sleepwalking, he poetically swims until he finds himself on a ship. I think the galloping line of white horses refers to a cloud formation but I’m not too up on my cumulonimbus facts. A storm cuts in, he sees a sailor in the rain and it looks like his father.
Since this song is from Soul Cages—an album dedicated to his father’s death, “when the bridge to heaven is broken” refers to his father’s death. Being lost on the wild wild sea refers to feelings of loss when someone we love dies. He may have had a dream about his father after the death—which wouldn’t be unusual.
