I know it - I can feel it in my bones that she's talking about Mick here....and I'll tell you why.


You--beloved
Were to me--everything
That love stood for
To love one another for awhile
Was enough--
It was all that I lived for
How can I go on without you
How can I go on--without you
I tell myself--this time
I'm going to have to--
Move on


She's had the realization that this relationship just can't go on anymore, though he's truly the love of her life and they have only been together for a little while.

I love the 2 indentical sentences that aren't indentical at all...it's so Stevie!
How can I go on without you
How can I go on--without you

What she's saying is "how will I be able to live without you with me " and " how can I go on with my life? The only way is to do it without you. Very cool play on words here. It's that old catch-22 you can't stand NOT being with them, but in order to live your life you have to NOT be with them. The only person that this could apply to is Mick. She loved his so much but she had to get out of it to save her relationship with the band. It was the only way that the Mac could still exist.

It's like
Bombay sapphire
Hey I can take you higher
Whatever you desire
I can mend your heart


Here I'm not sure whether she is talking about the ocean here or about her love for this person. She always says that the ocean is her constant, her home, and that's what makes her happiest, but I wonder...

Is it that she's saying that her love for him is like that...brilliant and intense and heart-mending? Or is she looking at this from the point of view of a highly personified ocean. It's telling here that it can held her - it can mend her heart??

It is green
It is aqua marine
It is colors I have never seen
I can see past you--to the white sand...
It is blue
It is not about you
It is all true
You know--who I am


Here she's talking about the ocean and him intermittently. The colors of the ocean amaze her. Just a hunch here, but I think she is talking about Hawaii here...and I'll get to that more later. She's looking at him there on the beach and seeing past him to the ocean...seeing the colors which amaze her, but at the same time she's sad and she trying to explain to him why it has to end. In this case the ocean (and Stevie) are blue in both color and emotion. She's telling him that it's not becuase of him and he should know that because he knows her too well.

I think this is in hawaii because she mentions white sand and blue/aquamarine water. Also, it seems that Mick and Stevie have both said at some point that they both went to Hawaii for one 'last time together' before they went back to FM as seperate people and not a couple. They are there on the beach contemplating why all of this has happened and who they are hurting and why it has to end.


And she says, the sea never changes--not really
It is the constant in my life
I always return here
To the flash of those colors
Through every window
The wind through the night
Here I am dramatic
Here I am not waiting
For the call of the wind


She's once again saying that the sea is what guides here and keeps her together. She has to come back to the sea for her to be happy. She's content looking at nd being near the ocean...though it may hold bad memories for her.


It's like purple haze
It's there every day
Its passion never fades
You know what I mean

Here's another mention of the colors of the ocean, but here I believe she is comparing that to her feelings for Mick. like the ocean's colors, her passion for him is constant and never fading, even though they may never be able to be together.

I really think this song is one fo the best on the album and it's music really adds to the sad and hopeless feel..
