I think, in general, it's just about being lost. That first line says everything, "Oh my God, I think I'm lost at sea."
It's about standing in one spot, and realizing that it's completely different than the one you were standing in before. And you don't know how you got there, or how to deal with the changes, so the result is that you're inexplicably lost. You have to start over again, in a different way, and all you really ever want is to be found and told that everything is okay, and will be okay. I suppose that's what the wind is for: it's a break from the change, a familiar air that reminds you it's okay to be lost sometimes, and that you'll find your way back.
It makes sense that this is about a divorce, then. But in a more general standpoint I think it can be related to any situation that turns your life upside down, one you have to slowly be accustomed to.
