One of my face songs. A lovely young musician I date in LA explained to me an interpretation of the song that I never considered before: it's about a couple seperated by death, and the 'sea' and related imagery is the river Styx, etc.

It makes sense.
Bobby Darren was great... and now that Sandra Dee has also passed I wonder if they met beyond the sea?
