Analysis of I Must Go
I must go to you
Where wind streams sand
Into the screaming ore
I must go
I must go to you
Where boiling water
Hits the rusted roots of shore
I must go
I must go to you
Where gulls die
And flake to the burning floor
I must go
I must go to you
Where I know you will not be
I must go to you
My love
I must go
To the raging sea
