Lisa Hannigan AN OCEAN AND A ROCK with LYRICS

this is a great song...
conveys many feelings at the same time.
:)

Just to put my own spin on liliesters interpretation. I'd say you're probably along the right track. The first time I tried to put a meaning to it I imagined her writing it while either her or the subject were in europe somewhere and the other was in at home in Ireland and the ocean and the rock seperating them would be the irish sea and english channel and england. Just a thought!

Yeah, that's a possibility too. I just thought that the ocean and the time thingy referes for a bigger distance. But actually I think it doesn't really matter. It's an "i miss you babe, but I'm trying to get to you as fast as I can" kinda song :)

WONDERFUL!

What do you think she means by an ocean and a rock away? :) Such a lovely song. I'd like to know some interpretation to it. :)

I really think it's about being far far away, on another continet. She says "I'm far away from where you lay, awake the day while you fall to sleep..." in my opinin refering to the time difference. Maybe it's making it too simple, but somethimes the simpiest is the best, and right now this would fit my feelings and situation...

That's lovely! I understand it now! What a nice interpretation! That makes even more sense. I'm enjoying this song even more! :)

I'm going to see her tonight!! :)

beautiful song! <3
