I got the album yesterday and this song immediately stuck out. I L-O-V-E it!! Jason has such a beautiful voice and should lead more often instead of Gary always doing it! lol!
The lyrics are so beautiful and i agree with ireneXY about the 'green to blue to gold to black' part. When i was listening to it i was thinking that the first verse, while having an clear meaning (about being a child on a boat fishing-duh) buti it has an underlying meaning i think. The wooden boat is life and he is waiting for something to come along. The ripple in that water i.e the fish, is Christine the women he talks of. He was sitting and waiting for his love to come along and she did and the other verses show their time together as young lover, then in marriage and then in death. And when she dies she wants to be young and living and back to the waiting because it is all over.... he has gone through green,blue,gold and black and would give anything to be back in the 'wooden boat'. I think the chorus is again showing this....waiting for something in life but we dont even know what it is and so we should just LIVE LIFE hence getting on the dance floor and letting ourselves go. I think it is a very philisophical song. or at least it is to me. it is great great great x x x
