The song has a subtitle, but you only see that if you had the original album lyrics. It references "Honfleur, 1867". Monet and many of his Impressionist contemporaries painted in the region (hence the reference to Grace Coast), and this song is a fictitious love affair between a simple local woman and one of these Impressionist painters, perhaps Monet himself, that she doesn't understand. He talks in the multitrack voice:
"But I always comeback
I am drawn to this place
As I'm drawn to you.."
and
"Look out there!
Can't you see what I see?"
Karen's solo voice is the voice of the mistress debating with him.
What an interesting and beautiful concept for a song1
