“And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him
He said all men will be sailors then until the sea shall free them
But he himself was broken, long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human, he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone”

And then you know that she will trust you

As an aside, this song was written about a good platonic friend. They used to walk along the harbor in Montreal.

As a child for me, the lyrics held no sexual undertones. I just assumed it denoted strong connection on a spiritual plane. Course I wasn’t remotely into nor was I thinking of people as sexual beings at that time. As an adult I hear it differently and I can see all kinds of sexual or sexual adjacent possibilities— nice to know I got it right the first time when I was 6 😎
