I believe this song is suggesting that "distance makes the heart grow fonder" is a myth. That over time love fades away. I believe the singer is in another land awaiting the promised arrival of his/her sweetheart.
The singer suggests they fear the distance between them will cause a loss of feeling on the part of their love and wishes for a boat to cross the water and be reunited.
