I believe it's about someone who's lover died, and the lover's ghost comes back and wants the narrator to go with them into the ocean (where the lover probably died), but they can't because they're still alive.
How I’d love to go
swim with you in death,
My heavy heart
won’t let me tread.
So, love, I must stay
on the shore.
I am young,
my blood warm.
I can take you this far
Now, my love, we must part.
A very powerful song. You notice they have a lot about the sea, water, ships, lighthouses, etc. in their music. I wonder if it holds a deeper meaning to Greta (or who ever may have written the song.)
