all i can think about when i hear this song is the fisherman's wife waiting for him day after day, year after year on the shore. she sleeps alot and at night you dont see the house lit up with life. NOoooo Light. there is a deep sense of driftwood when i hear this. the tides coming and going. there are holes in the plot meaning the fisherman should have been back home a long time ago. the story isnt satisfying in the sense of completion. she will wait for him until she turns grey. and you will run her errands until you are shortchanged one day. the cashier is the epitomy of greed with his lightning fast wit charming you blind. you know the fisherman's wife and sooth her pain, and there is nothing left to do but marry her and light up her house.
