I think you guys almost had it on the song. I think he is talking about his wife. He misses her when he's away. He's talked about this before when he's on tours and stuff. He misses his home the smell of the sea and his wife.
"I've grown feeble and tired of the world,
and tired of constantly missing my girl.
And I long to smell the sea"
but towards the end he realize that as much as he misses his earthly relationship with his wife his heavenly realtionship is greater than that even.
'Cause every time I'm close to the holy ghost,
I always seem to let her go."
The message we can draw from here is that our relationship with God should be first priority in our lives. Once we can find satisfaction in God then we can seek to share that with someone else in a earthly relationship.
THis is why divorce is such a problem, you see people feeling an emptyness in them and the think that a relationship with someone can fill that. But when they get married the realize that as great as it is, it's not good enough. We need to find completement in God first.
