This is a break up song. He has been out at sea (the relationship) for awhile, and its stormy. Her eyes are no longer filled with love, but are cold. So he has turned the boat around and is heading back to where they started, as nothing - not together. He doesn't want it to end, he wants her to be that person she was, to find her way back to him, but if she can't then he has to end things. This is their breakup day unless she finds her way back to his arms.
That is my take anyway...
anna is on the right track.
