On the High Sea

Gordon Lightfoot

Transposer:

Was it someone_    she met_  that's so hard__  to for-get_    Was it some kind_  of an ocean_  -an of changes?_         I don't__  remember_  where she said_  she would be_      And since I__  don't know_  let me guess_          |_ _ _ |_ _ _ |_ _ _ |(020100) _ _ _ | |_ _ _ |_ _ _ |_ _ _ |_ _ _ | Was it somewhere_  in Michigan_  or the Lake of__  the Woods__  Up in old        Mon__    -treal_  or__ Toronto__  the good__         Somewhere_  in Re-no_    or somewhere_    in Rome__ And when all__  is said and done__    Will she leave me__ alone?__        I don't want to get so low__             And as for__  my sad-ness_  it comes and it              goes_           I don't__  remember_  where she said_  she would be_   Back in_    the city-y__ or on__ the high seas__                        |_ _ _ |_ _ _ |_ _ _ |_ _ _ | Was it up in_  Hornpayne__  where the trains__  run on time__ Was she drinking_    champagne__ when she made up__  her mind?__        North of__ the border__  or down in__ South Bend_ And when all_ _ is said and done__    Is there no  rain-bow's end?___         I don't want to own the key__        To some ghos__  -tly man-sion__ where souls are set    free__          I don't__  remember_  where she said_  she would be__  Straight for__ the high-i-way_ or down__ the low road__ I don't__  remember_  where she said_  she would be_   Back in_    the city-y__ or on__ the high seas_         |_ _ |_ _ |_ _ || |_ _   |! _ _

La chanson évoque la confusion et la douleur d'un homme qui se souvient de son ancienne partenaire, se demandant où elle se trouve et pourquoi elle lui manque tant. Il se questionne sur les endroits où elle pourrait être, que ce soit à travers diverses villes ou même à l'étranger. Son esprit vagabonde entre des souvenirs de tristesse, de nostalgie et d'inquiétude face à la possibilité d'une séparation définitive. Dans ce texte, l'artiste exprime un sentiment de perte et d'incertitude, laissant entrevoir un mélange d'espoir et de désespoir. Les nombreux lieux mentionnés symbolisent son désir de retrouver des repères et de comprendre ce qui lui arrive. La mer, en particulier, semble représenter l'inconnu et les changements qui l'attendent.
