	Story Behind the Song This is a song about guilt. I'm not sure if the narrator of the song is a bad person or not, but he feels like one. Lyrics On the great white sea Out of sight of the land A spirit came to me And held out its hand Not a port of call At home among the tropics Out of pocket they fall And I am helpless to stop it The ocean is wide and the land does divide it The ocean is wide and the land does divide it How you shiver Louise Is there a chill on the water? I'm at that bar in D.C. I'm still fighting for your honor The ocean is wide and the land does divide it The ocean is wide and the land does divide it The spirit came down And reached into my jacket And plucked without a sound My most detestable habit How you shiver Louise At the bottom of the current Will you be waiting for me Wondering where the hell I went? The ocean is wide and the land does divide it The ocean is wide and the land does divide it
