This song, as stated in several interviews, is about Joe King's divorce - and in a broader sense, it is the story of someone being forced to start over.
The speaker is floating in the sea, waiting for the wind to push him back in the direction he was going. It was as if he had found an island to make a life on but is now back out at sea.
It's a song about finding your way when everywhere you used to go no longer exists and everything is suddenly unfarmilar.
The lyrics above are incorrect. These are right.
Oh my god
I think I'm lost at sea
These silent waves
Are my company
And I lost the line between the sky and sea
And I'm wondering will the wind ever come for me?
Yeah
I don't know
I don't know where I am
Can you tell me?
Will I break or will I bend?
Will the wind ever come again?
I see the sun coming up
Rising from the east
And I see the empire
Falling to her knees
And I lost the line between her and me
My troubles are gone if the wind ever comes for me
Yeah
I don't know
I don't know where I am
Can you tell me?
Will I break or will I bend?
Will the wind ever come?
I dreamed I found a shoreline
You were standing there
I dreamed I found you waiting
You were waiting for me,
Waiting for me
Tried to kiss the emptiness
Lost the line between
Sky and sea
I feel the sun coming up
Coming up,
Coming up,
Coming up
I don't know
I don't know where I am
I will break or I will bend
Will the wind ever come again?
