This has so many beautiful visual images in it. You really get to go a journey of imagination.
One interpretation that comes to me as I hear it, is what if it's simply a story about the love affair between the Sun and the Moon. Odd but I sort of like it. Imagine if they aren't just metaphors, try to listen to it literally.
Just the time before the Dawn, the Sea is hushed, the Ocean calls her, Day (the Sun) has taken her. As the night ends the Ocean, another suitor, tries to get her to come to safety with him rather die under the bright light of her lover, the Sun.
No one noticed when she died - like when the light of every new day from the sun drowns out the light of the moon and no one notices. She never shines in his presence.
Ocean Gypsy shackled to the tide - think how from her perspective she, the Moon, is shackled to the Tide. Yet from ours the Tide is what is shackled to the Moon.
Stands on high beneath the seas - her reflection in the water makes it appear as if she is beneath the seas.
And of course how she gives all of herself to let her true love, the Sun, shine to his truest glory - and that by giving all of herself she wanes out of sight.
So, for her love, she gives all of herself.
Could this be the saddest love story of all? That of the Sun and the Moon. A story that has been repeated every night since the beginning of Time.
No matter how you interpret it, it's still a beautiful song - and perfectly performed..
