This is my favorite Feist song. I think the lyrics are pretty self-explanatory, and her voice is so evocative, it's easy to see the meaning behind it. It's a sea chanty about the man she loved and lost to the ocean.
However, there is one line that throws me:
"The moon dips aloof at four."
What the hell does that mean? Is this some kind of nautical term or reference? Or is she just saying that the moon set at 4pm, and if so, why include such a trivial detail?
