I think Penpoint has the right interpretation; it is a beautiful song for a soldier overseas "where the ocean meets the sky." And look at how apropos the other imagery is: "running undercover of a helicopter blade" = self-evident / "love may still be alive ... where their downing only deer" = not much love in war where you are shooting people not just deer hunting / "photographs and kerosene light up my darkness" = a soldier looking at pictures under the light of a kerosene lamp. Okay, you get the point. And here is a video of a live performance by the man himself where he dedicates this song to the soldiers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCccPGtjaCU
