The song is about distance between lovers. The subject's lover is on the distant shore and the subject is in the middle of the ocean presumably alone. If he falls into the drink (dies) he wants to say his lover's name, but due to ocean (distance between lovers) no one will hear him. That's why it's best to not make a sound because it's fruitless.
Instead of shouting out your lover's name the subject dreams of a place where lover's have wings. In this dream they can overcome their distance and be together.
@musicforants I like your interpretation. Just adding to the end: he is also afraid of the sky. So, he's not going to fly. He's afraid of his lover or the lover he has with her. Maybe that's why they're so far apart.
