Joe occasionally talks about this song before he plays it. If I recall correctly, this song is a promise to his future wife (who he has yet to meet). Basically, he is admitting to being headstrong and stubborn, but he knows that he wouldn't be anything without those he loves. This song is a gift to his future wife, so if he is getting carried away, she can play him this song to remind him to be reasonable.
The song is beautiful and powerful, and the story is reminiscent of Solomon's Ring.
On the surface, the song is about manning a sea vessel alone. The struggle is too much, and he is apologetic for those he drove away. It is an obvious metaphor for his life, and when he finally docks in the last verse is when he met/will meet his future wife
